Recent Advances in Nonlinear Vibration and Control

Dear Colleagues,

Nonlinear vibration control is becoming increasingly important in many engineering applications such as rotating machinery, aircraft, bridges, satellites, robotics, micro-electro-mechanical systems, and mechatronics, etc. The main trend is toward making the structures lighter, more flexible, and offering higher levels of performance requirements. The actuators and sensor networks are integrated into these structures to mitigate unwanted vibrations, detect damage, and sometimes change the dynamical characteristics of the structure. These structures have become known as smart, intelligent, and sometimes adaptive structures. This Special Issue aims to present the recent theoretical, numerical, and experimental approaches to various engineering systems related to nonlinear vibrations and control. 

We invite scientists and engineers from the whole world who contribute to the development of nonlinear vibrations and control to submit their appreciated work for publication in this Special Issue of the MDPI journal Applied Sciences.

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.
