Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vehicle structural strength and dynamics is a field of applied research, including areas such as materials science, structure design, physics, and of course, dynamics. The research subject involves road-, rail- and other ground-based vehicle systems and their components. As vehicles become more light weight, intelligent, and comfortable, the industry is placing increasing demands on the structural strength and dynamics of these vehicles. The growth of computational capacities has led to further research in this field and more industrial applications. Many advanced technologies have been applied to the field of vehicle structural strength and dynamics, such as topology optimization, advanced control theory, numerical simulation, data-driven ones, evolutionary computation, and deep learning.
This Special Issue on “New Insights into Vehicle Structural Strength and Dynamics” aims to incorporate the latest research progress relating to vehicle structural strength and dynamics analysis, and advanced materials, structures, and design methods. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel computer-aided modelling and simulation for the validation of vehicle strength and dynamics;
- Rapid prototyping, analytical and numerical simulation technologies of materials with novel mechanical properties;
- Advanced control systems for improving vehicle dynamics;
- Performance analysis techniques for different key indicators of vehicle structures;
- Multidisciplinary optimization methods of advanced vehicle structures;
- Other related research topics.

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 2300 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.
