Advanced Fluid Power and Mechatronics

Dear Colleagues,

Advanced Fluid Technologies and Mechatronics focus on the theoretical and experimental work of integrated systems, in which fluid technology is mainly used for energy conversion. Highly specialized mechatronic control and monitoring systems are interfaced with sensors and transducers that enable the measurement of the states of electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and mechanical systems. Mechatronics involves the intelligent, synergistic integration of mechanics, electronics, and information processing. This evolutionary development in industrial design and manufacturing also brings new goals and challenges that need to be addressed for the effective use of technology in many new products and systems in the future.

We especially encourage papers on advanced techniques for novel application domains in the following areas:

• Fluid power research
• Applied mechatronics
• Computational mechatronics
• Hydraulic and pneumatic components
• Actuator interface systems
• Sensors and measurement systems
• Transmission and control
• Performance monitoring, fault diagnosis, and prediction technology
• Reliability research and application
• Artificial intelligence
• Aerodynamics
• Fluid–solid coupling
• Thermal fluid mechanics
• Noise and vibration control
• Intelligent manufacturing and control
• Robotic automation and control
• Automated guided vehicles
• Additive manufacturing technology
• Energy-saving and environmental protection
• Micro and nanofluidics

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
