Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advancements in composite materials have revolutionized industries such as aerospace, automotive, and civil engineering, where high performance and reliability are crucial. Ensuring the integrity of these materials is essential, especially in critical applications that directly impact safety and success. Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technologies have rapidly evolved, offering effective solutions for the inspection and monitoring of these advanced materials without causing damage. Coupled with intelligent monitoring systems, such as those utilizing data analytics and artificial intelligence, these technologies are key to improving the quality and reliability of composite components.
This Special Issue invites researchers, engineers, and practitioners to submit original research, reviews, and practical case studies focused on the application of NDE and intelligent monitoring for composite materials. Both theoretical and practical contributions are encouraged, with the aim of advancing the field and offering valuable insights to the wider engineering community.

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.
