Special Issues

Special Issue on Uncertainty-aware Structural Health Monitoring Día de Entrega: 2026-09-30 Structural health monitoring (SHM) plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and reliability of structures by continuously tracking their operational status and detecting potential damage. However, uncertainty is inherent in the entire SHM process, arising from sensor measurements, environmental conditions, model simplifications, as well as manufacturing/assembling processes, etc. These uncertainties can significantly affect the accuracy of structural condition assessment, damage diagnosis, and reliability predictions, thereby posing challenges to informed decision-making in structural maintenance and management. This Special Issue aims to gather high-quality original research papers and review articles that advance resilient SHM systems. Submissions should place uncertainty at the core of SHM, treating it explicitly and quantitatively. We particularly welcome advances in methods and frameworks for uncertainty quantification (UQ), propagation, and decision-making under uncertainty. We also seek contributions that explore innovative theories and methodologies, addressing practical applications in this field, with the goal of promoting the development of reliable and efficient SHM practices.

Special Issue on Progress in the Inverse Finite Element Method (iFEM) for Deformation Reconstruction and Structural Health Monitoring Día de Entrega: 2026-11-01 In the evolving field of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), the ability to measure, reconstruct, and predict the behavior of engineering structures under operational conditions has become indispensable. The increasing complexity of modern aerospace, marine, civil, and mechanical systems require advanced monitoring strategies that can ensure safety, durability and performance optimization throughout the life cycle of structures. This demand has driven rapid progress in both sensor technologies and inverse computational frameworks, enabling new paradigms in real-time monitoring. Among these advances, the Inverse Finite Element Method (iFEM) has emerged as a particularly powerful and timely solution. Originally developed as a general-purpose inverse problem-solving framework, iFEM reconstructs full-field displacements, strains, and stresses from sparse strain measurements. Its foundation in finite element theory makes it inherently versatile, allowing application to diverse materials, geometries and loading scenarios. As structural systems become more lightweight, adaptive and integrated with multi-functional components, iFEM provides a robust, scalable and computationally efficient means of deformation reconstruction, bridging the gap between measured data and actionable insights. The timeliness of iFEM is underscored by its unique ability to support structural digital twins, dynamic and high-fidelity virtual representations that continuously assimilate sensor data to mirror the state of physical assets. Through iFEM, sparse in-situ measurements are transformed into comprehensive full-field structural responses, enabling digital twins to provide predictive capabilities for damage progression, fatigue and failure modes. This integration forms the cornerstone of next-generation SHM systems, where real-time monitoring is not only descriptive but also prescriptive, offering decision support for proactive maintenance and operational efficiency. Furthermore, iFEM aligns naturally with advances in signal processing and data-driven modeling. Modern SHM relies heavily on filtering, statistical analysis and spectral methods to interpret sensor outputs. By coupling iFEM with these signal processing techniques, it becomes possible to enhance robustness against noise, quantify uncertainties and improve the reliability of structural diagnostics. Hybrid physics–data-driven frameworks that combine iFEM formulations with machine learning or reduced-order models are also emerging as promising strategies, delivering both interpretability and computational efficiency. Applications of iFEM have already been demonstrated in a wide range of engineering domains. In aerospace engineering, it enables in-flight deformation reconstruction of wings, fuselages and morphing structures. In marine and offshore systems, it supports monitoring of hull integrity and wave-induced responses. In civil infrastructure, iFEM provides a pathway to assess bridges, pipelines and towers under operational loads. In mechanical engineering, it is applied to rotating machinery, composite laminates and lightweight structures where conventional sensing methods fall short. Across these domains, iFEM demonstrates a consistent capability to deliver accurate, real-time deformation and damage information using only minimal sensor networks—an essential feature for cost-effective monitoring.
