Nonlinear Dynamics and Vibration

Dear Colleagues,

While linear models are often effective, the physics of our world is governed by nonlinear equations. Bridging the gap between theory and practice is crucial for understanding and improving the performance and reliability of modern engineering systems.

This Special Issue of Applied Sciences aims to present the latest advances and research findings in nonlinear dynamics and vibration. It combines theoretical, experimental, and computational contributions that enhance our understanding of complex dynamic behavior in various engineering applications.

Research articles, review papers, and case studies that address fundamental aspects and practical applications of nonlinear dynamics and vibration are welcome. Contributions that offer new insights on physical systems, explore innovative methodologies, and have emerging applications are particularly encouraged.

Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Tuning nonlinearities for optimal performance;
• Internal and parametric resonances;
• Self-excited oscillations;
• Energy transfer and localization phenomena;
• Bifurcation and stability phenomena;
• Reduced-order models;
• Experimental observation of nonlinear phenomena.

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.
