Structural dynamical monitoring and fault diagnosis are of great importance to diagnose/prognose faults/failures of structures. Although the present methodologies and techniques are feasible to resolve some problems, the emergence of nondestructive tests, structural health monitoring, and equipment evaluation using vibration information demands the development of numerical simulation and experimental demonstration of new methodologies and techniques.

The objective of this special issue is to present original research and review articles on the latest theoretical developments and experimental techniques in structural dynamical monitoring and fault diagnosis.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Diagnostics/prognostics/machine learning
• Numerical simulation modeling of structures with faults
• Structural health monitoring
• Nondestructive testing and evaluation
• Equipment evaluation using vibration information
• Condition monitoring systems
