Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Large-scale flexible spacecrafts (LSFS) represent important strategic space equipment for the future utilization of space resources, exploration of the universe, and long-term in-orbit residence. The coupling effect of attitude motion and structural vibration is very prominent for LSFS, and the study of the nonlinear coupling dynamic characteristics of attitude motion and structural vibration is an important scientific issue. The recent literature has provided a number of contributions associated with the dynamic modeling of such spacecraft, whilst the current ongoing research is devoted to nonlinear vibration and actuation control, addressing specific needs and issues. The aim of the present Special Issue is to collect original papers concerned with the dynamical modeling approach, nonlinear vibration analysis, actuation control design, and coordinated control of attitude motion and structural vibration for LSFS or its component structures. Theoretical, numerical and experimental contributions are all welcome, provided that they deal with the dynamics and control of flexible composite structures equipped on the LSFS. Modern analyses pertaining to active vibration suppression and attitude adjustment are particularly encouraged, providing both analytical and experimental results.
This topic is related to actuator control systems and their application in structural vibration suppression and attitude control of spacecrafts.

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 1800 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.
