Advanced Fluid Power Systems and Actuators

Dear Colleagues,

Hydraulic and pneumatic actuators play an important role in widespread industrial applications such as power transmission, renewable energy systems, construction machineries, transportation, and automation. Therefore, contributions from all fields related to fluid power systems and actuators are welcome to this Special Issue:

• Theory, applications, and case studies of hydraulic/pneumatic systems and actuators;
• Fluid power transmissions, machines, and actuators;
• New design for hydraulic/pneumatic systems and actuators;
• Friction estimation in hydraulic/pneumatic systems and actuators;
• Energy regeneration and efficiency improvement in hydraulic/pneumatic systems;
• Energy management in hybrid hydraulic/pneumatic systems;
• Fault diagnosis and isolation (FDI), fault estimation, and fault-tolerant control in hydraulic/pneumatic systems and actuators;
• System identification and optimization for hydraulic/pneumatic systems and actuators;
• Intelligent and precision tracking control for hydraulic/pneumatic actuators;
• Intelligent hydraulic machines: safety and reliability for human–machine interactions;
• Noise and vibration suppression using hydraulic/pneumatic 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 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. 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.
