Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nonlinearity is widespread in mechanical systems, especially under the influence of material and geometric nonlinearities, where nonlinear mechanical systems exhibit complex dynamic characteristics. Vibration analysis plays a critical role in the design, optimization, and maintenance of nonlinear mechanical systems, as it helps reveal the nonlinear behavior, dynamic properties, and underlying relationships between parameters. To better understand these characteristics, developing efficient vibration analysis method is crucial, including theoretical modeling, numerical simulations, and experimental validation. In addition, the application of active, semi-active, and passive vibration control technologies can effectively suppress the nonlinear vibration, enhancing the stability and performance of nonlinear mechanical systems.
This Special Issue aims to present the latest research results and trends regarding vibration analyses of nonlinear mechanical systems. Key topics include nonlinear dynamic modeling, vibration analysis methods, numerical simulation techniques, the bifurcation and chaos phenomena, and vibration control technology of nonlinear mechanical systems. We welcome original research and review papers that will further advance this field.

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. 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.
