Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The dynamics of rotating machinery have been extensively investigated during the past century. To date, longer rotating shafts, higher rotating velocity, higher fluid pressure, and generally high performances are required. For this purpose, a deep understanding and a more accurate modeling of the rotating machinery dynamical behavior is needed, especially in terms of the resultant vibrations and stability issues.
The presence of fluid-lubricated journal bearings, squeeze-film dampers, rolling element bearings, fluid seals, impeller blades, or, in general, of destabilizing nonlinear forces requires more and more detailed theoretical models validated by using good-concept test rigs in order to provide a correct machine design and maintenance.
This Special Issue focuses on the latest advances in rotordynamics with particular reference to the modeling of nonlinear effects rising up with shaft rotation. The Editor welcome research and reviews on the nonlinear phenomena in rotordynamics, dynamic analysis and stability, fluid–structure interactions in rotordynamics, rotor vibration control using active and semi-active methods, condition monitoring, diagnostics and prognostics of rotors, fluid film bearings, magnetic bearings, rolling bearings, seals, and dampers.

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.
