Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This is a collection of top quality papers published in the open access journal Actuators (ISSN 2076-0825, Science Citation Index, Impactor: 1.957). The papers should be long research papers (or review papers) with full and detailed summaries of the author's own work done so far.
About this Special Issue:
Vibration is a common phenomenon when a structure is exposed to mechanical or environmental actions. It may cause great cost to lives and the economy. In order to reduce the adverse impact of vibration and understand the resulting damages, vibration control and structural health monitoring have become increasingly important.
Although significant contributions have been made in this area, many challenges are still open for exploration. This Special Issue welcomes contributions addressing all aspects related to this area. As such, we solicit submissions of research papers dealing with, but not limited to, these themes:
- Theory and computational methods of vibration control,
- Materials and devices for vibration control,
- Tests and applications of vibration mitigation or isolation techniques,
- Development of structure health monitoring equipment,
- Damages detection and localization methods for structures,
- Data Sensing and processing in structure health monitoring,
- Safety diagnosis and assessment of structures,
- Interdisciplinary approaches and applications for structural health monitoring,
- Vibration analysis, tests and applications in relative fields.

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.
