The Advances and Applications of Non-Destructive Evaluation

Dear Colleagues,

With the continuous development of science and technology, non-destructive evaluation has become the basic technology of structure management and maintenance in the field of industrial production. It plays an important role in ensuring the safe and reliable service of structure, improving the efficiency of management and maintenance, and generating economic benefits.

In this Special Issue, we are aiming to collate studies on all aspects surrounding “The Advances and Applications of Non-destructive Evaluation”. It will be dedicated to new perspectives on topics ranging from nonlinear acoustics and ultrasonic waves to Lamb wave detection, acoustic emission testing, X-ray radiography, magnetic particle testing, and eddy-current testing. It will also highlight advancements in non-destructive detection technology, structural health monitoring, pattern recognition, deep learning models, artificial intelligence, statistical mathematics, signal processing, and data analytics. This Special Issue aims to bridge the gap between theory and real-world implementation. Any original, unpublished work is welcome. If you have an interest in this topic, please let us know.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
