Special Issue Information
This Special Issue is devoted to the application of intelligent and bionic transmission in various research fields. This mainly includes the research fields of bionic transmission, bionic materials, bionic control, intelligent materials and structures, and intelligent control. Bionic transmission is generally understood through the study of biological body structure, imitating the organism or a part of it to construct a mechanical transmission device, where the mechanical transmission device and the organism have similar structure and function. Material bionics considers the production of mechanical materials from the perspective of biological functions, through the study of the material structure and formation process of some organisms to imitate their characteristics in design, in order to produce materials with special strength, toughness, and particular biological characteristics. Bionic control includes bionic control based on behavior, bionic control based on nervous system, bionic control based on genetic algorithm, and bionic control based on swarm, among others. Intelligent materials and structures refer to the integration of a driver, sensor, and micro-processing control system with a parent material. In addition to having the carrying capacity of ordinary materials, intelligent materials can also perceive and process internal and external information, which is a kind of artificial imitation of biological intelligence. Intelligent control is a new technology which can complete preset control tasks of the system autonomously without intervention, representing a shift of the system’s control mode from ordinary automatic control to a more advanced intelligent control. In the future, intelligent and bionic transmission will have a variety of applications in aviation, military, disaster relief, anti-terrorism rescue, biomedical engineering, micro-mechanical systems, agriculture, and other aspects. In the above fields, mainly because of technical problems in production, some structure, function, and regulation mechanisms of organisms are studied and simplified, then the corresponding physical and mathematical models are established, and then numerical simulation analysis is carried out. Finally, the required physical model is prepared for experimental verification.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
