Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vibration phenomena are the most common challenges that emerge in the analysis of mechanical systems. Despite differences in scale, they can be described by similar mathematical models.
The Special Issue aims to explore problems regarding linear and nonlinear vibrations in discrete and continuous systems, which can be solved using both analytical and numerical methods. Theoretical and experimental studies, as well as comprehensive review and survey papers, are welcome.
We particularly seek the submission of papers on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- The modeling of complex dynamic objects;
- The vibration isolation of structures, machines and devices;
- Vibrations in civil engineering structures;
- Bridge and footbridge dynamics;
- Active and passive methods of vibration and noise control;
- Materials for vibration and noise damping reduction;
- Vibration measurements;
- Vibrations in biomechanical systems;
- The impact of vibration on the human body and structures;
- Wave propagation;
- Vibrations in moving continuous 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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
