Summary
Energy infrastructure, encompassing offshore engineering structures, power system equipment, photovoltaic support structures, and other critical energy facilities, provides fundamental support for global energy supply. Serving in harsh environments with complex dynamic loads, such structures commonly suffer from performance degradation, damage accumulation, and potential safety hazards, which makes structural monitoring, integrity assessment, and safe operation indispensable.
This special issue places a strong emphasis on the development, optimization, and engineering application of novel sensing technologies and high-performance sensors for structural deformation and condition monitoring. It also covers risk-based inspection (RBI) in practical engineering scenarios, wind-induced vibration monitoring, and bolt looseness detection for structural components, structural damage identification and integrity assessment, as well as safety operation and maintenance strategies for energy infrastructure. We welcome high-quality original research and engineering applications that integrate technological innovation with on-site implementation, aiming to promote the progress of structural safety and reliability technologies for energy infrastructure.
