Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Electronic Sensors are technologies designed to convert a measurement into electrical signals, which change traditional monitoring methods and revolutionize detection instruments. Displacement or speed in the environment can be obtained through electronic pressure sensors, electronic acoustic sensors hold the capability of capturing abnormal sound signals during operation of the equipment, and flexible wearable sensors can be utilized to track human physiological signals for disease prevention or exercise monitoring. Based on these signals collected by electronic sensors, various instruments have the ability to perceive, control and communicate with the outside world. Applied to various industrial or environmental monitoring, electronic sensors are the key elements used to acquire the original signal accurately and are also critical for the back-end systems that perform various operations or decisions based on the collected signals. The objective of this Special Issue is to gather novel developments in the latest research on electronic sensors for Industrial or Environmental Monitoring Applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following keywords:

  • Electronic sensors;
  • Novel sensors and transducers;
  • Novel sensing methods;
  • Flexible sensing/sensors;
  • Industrial monitoring applications;
  • Environmental monitoring applications;
  • Human physiological signal monitoring

Mining activities can damage rock masses and easily induce ground collapse, which seriously threatens safe production in mining areas. Micro-seismic systems can monitor rock mass deformation signals in real time and provide more accurate data for rock mass deformation analysis. Therefore, in this study, the waveform characteristics of micro-seismic events induced by ground collapse in the Rongxing gypsum mine were analyzed; the occurrence of these events was introduced on the basis of Fast Fourier Transform, an established Frequency–Time–Amplitude model, in order to put forward the index of energy proportion of the main band. The results showed the following. (1) The seismic sequence type of ground collapse was foreshock–mainshock–aftershocks. The interval between the foreshock and mainshock was longer than that between the mainshock and aftershocks. (2) The deformation corresponding to the foreshock micro-seismic events was mainly that of a small-scale crack. The deformation corresponding to the micro-seismic events during the mainshock was characterized by the gradual development of small-scale cracks, and the development of large-scale cracks accelerated, accompanied by slight rock collapse. The deformation corresponding to the micro-seismic events during the aftershocks showed that almost no small-scale cracks developed, and the large-scale crack development was intense, and accompanied by numerous rock and soil mass collapses. (3) The observed decreasing frequency distribution and energy dispersion can be used as possible precursors of ground collapse. Full article
