Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Numerous physical phenomena in the field of engineering are modeled using nonlinear ordinary differential equations or partial differential equations. It is well known that there is no general theory for finding exact solutions to these equations. To solve complex nonlinear dynamic problems, it is necessary to apply approximate analytical methods and numerical or experimental methods that are efficient and simple, leading to providing explicit, conclusive results for engineering practice. Perturbative, asymptotic, homotopic, or optimal semi-numerical analytical methods are frequently used successfully to obtain approximate analytical solutions.
We are pleased to invite you to present your original new developments to this Special Issue, which aims to collect original contributions that investigate nonlinear dynamical systems in the fields of mechanical engineering and thermal engineering.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Acoustics and vibrations;
- Applied thermal engineering;
- Mechanical engineering.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
