Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many structures have good geometric symmetry and mechanical symmetry, so symmetry has been an important concept in structural model tests and engineering tests. Using symmetry, structural models or finite element models can be greatly simplified, which can speed up the analysis time of structural models and reduce the cost of model tests. At present, various sensing technologies such as optical fiber sensors and piezoelectric sensors have been widely used in structural or environmental monitoring. The number of sensors, the complexity of sensor networks, and the ability of structural analysis have become important indicators in the monitoring system. Based on mechanical or geometric symmetry analysis, the number of sensors can be greatly optimized, the complexity of sensor networks can be reduced, and the integrity of the data used for structural or environmental analysis can be guaranteed. Furthermore, symmetry analysis also makes up for the lack of sensor monitoring ability to a certain extent. For example, some sensors can only sense tensile strain, so the strain in the compression area of the structure can be obtained by symmetry analysis; some key positions of structures do not make it easy to deploy sensors, so sensors can be deployed in their symmetrical positions.
Please note that all submitted papers must be within the general scope of the Symmetry journal.
We are soliciting contributions (research and review articles) covering a broad range of topics on various optical fiber sensors, piezoelectric sensors, laser gas sensors, and applied structural model analysis and engineering test analysis, including (though not limited to) the following keywords.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
