Bridge Dynamics: Volume III

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is a continuation of the previous Special Issues titled Bridge Dynamics (vols. I and II), and is dedicated to academic researchers and civil engineering specialists who want to present their work on theoretical and experimental methods of analysis for dynamic aspects of bridge structures. In view of the significance of dynamic issues for the protection, operation, and feasibility of bridge structures, this Special Issue on Bridge Dynamics aims to bring together authors who want to present their experiences in the research, design, construction, and utilization of bridges, with a focus on dynamics.

Some, though not all, of the problems considered for this Special Issue are as follows: experimental and theoretical investigations of the dynamic characteristics of bridges and footbridges; the seismic performance of bridges and footbridges; the dynamic analysis of railway bridges subjected to high-speed trains; human-induced vibrations of footbridges; the aerodynamic stability of bridge structures; structural health monitoring (SHM) systems; and the integration and management of SHM data for bridges and footbridges.

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.
