Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue on "Advances in Fluid Power Systems and Actuators" is to contribute to the current body of knowledge by sharing the latest developments in fluid power technology, that is, the transmission of forces and motions using a confined and pressurized fluid with its main overall merit of density power. This Special Issue includes a broad range of subjects, including the following:
- New methodologies for the analysis, modeling, simulation, and design of hydraulic and pneumatic components;
- Advanced configurations and design for hydrostatic pumps and motors;
- New configurations and design solutions for hydraulic valves and actuators;
- New experimental approaches and techniques in hydraulic and pneumatic components;
- Component sizing and manufacturing techniques in fluid power components;
- New materials in fluid power components;
- Advanced system configuration in mobile and industrial fluid power;
- Applications of fluid power in the field of hydrostatic, hybrid, and power split transmissions;
- Energy rating in fluid power systems;
- Monitoring, fault detection, and life reliability in fluid power components;
- Design by end-user: diagnosis, prognostic, and energy consumption evaluation;
- Hydraulic drives and actuators in powered prosthetics;
- Noise and vibration in hydraulic components and systems.

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 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.
