Highlights

  • The issue contains several papers dealing with the nondestructive testing and evaluation (NDT&E) of various types of ferromagnetic components

  • NDT&E and structural health monitoring (SHM) provide a means of identifying this damage and are often the only means of obtaining information about the current “health status” of a structure, through the installation of appropriate novel sensor technologies

  • This special issue is devoted to the important area of sensor technology for NDT&E and SHM, aiming to cover diverse aspects such as novel sensing methods, smart structures, sensor arrays and distributed sensors, advanced signal processing for sensor systems, and sensors for device, structural, and environmental monitoring

Summary

Introduction

The issue contains several papers dealing with the NDT&E of various types of ferromagnetic components. Editorial Advanced Sensor Technologies for Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation and Structural Health Monitoring The need for monitoring the condition of critical structural components, that is, structural health monitoring (SHM), combined with increased requirements for the safety and quality of components, has resulted in the development of nondestructive testing and evaluation (NDT&E) and nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods for characterising materials and detecting the presence of defects.
