Resonators in Acoustics

Dear Colleagues,

Today resonators are widely used in different fields of acoustics. Although the first mentions about resonant devices can be found in ancient manuscripts, their scientific study began much later with the well-known Helmholtz resonator, which was an effective absorber and scatterer of sound waves. The theory of resonant acoustic phenomena was founded by Helmholtz, Rayleigh, and other scientists and continues to be developed intensively now by researchers and engineers in various fields. During this time, the resonators have been successfully applied to architectural acoustics, noise and vibration control, medical applications, measurement technologies, sound radiation, new sensors, and other different inventions. In recent years, new metamaterials and metastructures with unusual properties are being developed on the basis of the simplest resonant elements; the theory of resonators has been helping to elaborate new techniques for active sound control. So the resonators are still interesting both for fundamental research and engineering investigations. Taking into account the relevance of this topic and the great interest of many researchers, we initiate the Special Issue of the journal Acoustics, devoted to resonators in acoustics.

The Special Issue aims to attract the latest findings concerning the application of resonators in acoustics. New ideas and approaches, theoretical studies, and technical implementations of the resonators in various acoustic fields are within the scope of this Special Issue. Submissions with original results as well as reviews are strongly invited to the Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Acoustics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
