Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vibration and noise control are essential in advancing the performance, safety, and reliability of engineering systems across diverse applications, including civil structures, aerospace, automotive, marine, and industrial machinery. The continuous evolution of materials, actuators, and control technologies has led to significant progress in the design of advanced damping systems. Active, passive, and hybrid damping approaches, supported by innovative actuation and sensing technologies, are enabling next-generation solutions that address complex structural dynamics and acoustic challenges.
This Special Issue on Advanced Actuators and Dampers for Next-Generation Vibration and Noise Control provides a platform for showcasing the latest developments in damping technologies and control methodologies. Submissions are invited that cover theoretical modeling, numerical simulations, experimental investigations, and real-world applications of advanced actuators and dampers. Topics of interest include smart materials, adaptive actuators, multi-modal vibration suppression, broadband noise reduction, and integrated hybrid systems for enhanced vibration and acoustic performance. By bringing together interdisciplinary research, this Special Issue aims to highlight state-of-the-art approaches that advance the design and application of intelligent damping solutions, contributing to more efficient, resilient, and sustainable vibration and noise control technologies for future engineering 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.
