Advanced Vibro-Acoustic Technology: Intelligent Algorithms, Smart Materials and Dynamics, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues, 

Vibration and acoustics are everywhere in the environment, e.g., ocean waves, flutter, pipeline vibration, wind-induced vibration, jet noise, and underwater noise. Vibro-acoustics control and utilization are promising in modern industry, as they can support self-powered sensors in the Environment Internet of Things (EIOT), along with the abatement of unnecessary vibration and noise and acoustic target tracking. New advanced technologies, including intelligent algorithms, smart materials, and advanced analysis methods, can produce revolutionary progress in vibro-acoustics control and utilization. Thus, this Special Issue aims to collect the latest research advances in vibro-acoustics control and utilization using intelligent algorithms, smart materials, and advanced analysis methods. This Special Issue is focused on, but not limited to, the following themes:

• Innovative intelligent algorithms for vibration/acoustics-based energy harvesting, control, target tracking, and diagnosis;
• Analyses of vibration/acoustics energy harvesting and control using functional and smart materials;
• Fluid–solid interaction, flow-induced noise in energy harvesting or control using intelligent algorithms, new smart materials, and dynamic mechanisms;
• Innovative vibration/acoustics control algorithms such as machine-learning-based methods;
• Experimental investigation of vibro-acoustics energy harvesting, control, target tracking, and diagnosis;
• Advanced vibration/acoustics energy harvesting or control in aerospace, marine, civil engineering, etc.

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.
