Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Contributions from all fields related to actuation and control in heavy-duty applications are welcome to this Special Issue, particularly the following:
- Twin transition technologies (zero-emission, digitalization, decarbonization, etc.);
- Novel drives, transmissions, and actuators;
- Efficient and intelligent components and systems (control, design, simulation, modeling, etc.);
- Predictive analytics (monitoring, diagnosis, etc.);
- Noise and vibration;
- Digital and switched fluid power systems;
- Functional safety and safety of intended functions.
On behalf of the Actuators journal, I invite you to consider this Special Issue as an excellent platform to disseminate your research results in the field of fluid power. I look forward to receiving your submissions.
As an open access journal, Actuators has an Article Processing Charge (APC) of 1800 CHF for accepted papers. The SICFP23 conference participants will receive a 50% discount on the publishing fees.
Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Tatiana Minav
Guest Editor

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Actuators is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
