Smart Structures and Systems: Actual Scientific and Industrial Research (2nd Volume)
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue follows on from the first Special Issue, entitled “Smart Structures and Systems: Actual Scientific and Industrial Research” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/applmech/special_issues/4SMARTS), published in Applied Mechanics in 2021.
The focus will be on the interdisciplinary topic area of active, intelligent and adaptive. In short: smart structures and systems.
Starting with materials, over the virtualization and optimization of components as well as the integration of functions, up to ensuring the reliability of smart structures and systems, this Special Issue covers all relevant fields of technology. In addition to the classic applications of active vibration, sound and shape control, numerous other applications are addressed, including condition and structural health monitoring or autonomous systems.
We would like to invite the whole smart structures and system community to contribute to this Special Issue.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Mechanics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1400 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.
