Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In modern industry, products, systems, and devices are increasingly required to comply with stringent norms and regulatory requirements. As a result, the importance of non-destructive testing (NDT)—which enables the inspection, evaluation, and monitoring of the technical condition of components without compromising their integrity—continues to grow.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present recent advances and comprehensive reviews in NDT techniques, particularly in the context of the following areas:
- Detection and characterization of flaws and defects;
- Assessment of failure probability;
- Evaluation of structural and technical conditions;
- Interpretation and reliability of inspection results;
- Development of novel testing methodologies;
- Advancement of probes, sensors, and measuring instruments;
- Determination of the parameters of tested materials;
- Enhancement of testing efficiency and effectiveness.
We invite the submission of original research articles and review papers addressing, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Ultrasonic testing;
- Acoustic emission;
- Eddy current testing;
- Application of artificial intelligence in NDT;
- Radiographic testing;
- Spectroscopy;
- Electromagnetic testing;
- Emerging and hybrid NDT techniques for current and future industrial applications.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Materials 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.
