Recent Research and Applications of Vibration Isolation and Control

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue highlights the latest advancements in vibration isolation and control, a crucial field in mechanical, civil, and aerospace engineering that ensures the stability and dynamic performance of structures. The Special Issue seeks to gather high-quality and original papers that showcase innovative approaches using analytical, numerical, and experimental methods to mitigate unwanted vibrations in various applications, including road vehicles, trains, airplanes, bridges, and buildings. Additionally, it will feature practical case studies that demonstrate the real-world implementation of these solutions, emphasizing the vital role of vibration control in enhancing operational efficiency.

Contributions are welcome on any aspect of vibration isolation or control, with a focus on, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Control theory;
• Nonlinear vibration;
• Stochastic dynamics;
• Uncertainty quantification;
• Structural optimization;
• System identification;
• Power flow analysis and energy transfer;
• Nonlinear energy sinks;
• Experimental techniques;
• Reduced-order modelling and simulation;

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
