Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the demand for enhanced structural integrity and operational efficiency continues to rise, the exploration and implementation of cutting-edge structural health monitoring (SHM) technologies have become increasingly crucial. SHM has evolved to become an essential tool used for maintaining civil infrastructure. In addition to global and local methods that have been the mainstay of SHM methodologies, recent advances in hybrid approaches utilizing global and local data show promise in enhancing SHM performances. As civil engineering structures are intrinsically large and complex, with a wide variety of structural damages, global/local/hybrid methods have their unique advantages and particular applications.
This Special Issue aims to establish a comprehensive platform for researchers, engineers, and practitioners by presenting the most recent and advanced SHM technologies, incorporating global, local, and hybrid sensing and data processing. The papers published in this Special Issue will provide valuable insights into state-of-the-art SHM technologies and the direction of research and development in the SHM field.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Global sensing and data processing for SHM;
- Local sensing and data processing for SHM;
- Hybrid sensing and data processing for SHM;
- Smart sensors and quality assessment of sensor data;
- The application of artificial intelligence for advanced data processing;
- The automation of SHM methodologies;
- Real implementations of SHM technologies in infrastructure.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
