Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High speed rotating machinery is widely used in power and energy fields, including aero-engine, compressor, micro turbine, steam turbine, fuel cell, generator, flywheel, and so on. The rotor is the most important component for the machine, and the corresponding rotor dynamic characteristics strongly affect the machine’s vibration and safety. Rotor dynamics is a fundamental and necessary aspect of this field of research.
Increasing demands for greater power, higher efficiency, smaller size, more reliability, and more environmentally friendly machines have greatly promoted the development of rotating machines. At the same time, it also brings many new challenges for rotor dynamics, such as ultra-high rotating speed, extreme working load, stronger multi-field coupling impact, vibration control for a wider range of working conditions, the application of innovative structures and materials, and the integration of AI. Therefore, for this Special Issue, we invite researchers to contribute their latest recent updates regarding the rotor dynamics of high speed rotating machinery, with topics including, but not limited to, modeling methods, simulations, experiments, novel concepts, monitoring technology, and signal processing methods.

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.
