Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Allow me to recall the ingenious statement by Nikola Tesla, “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration”. The goal of this Special Issue is to bring together researchers aiming to better understand and master vibration phenomena in mechanical systems with a focus on advances in vibration control. The synergy of active elements integrated with appropriate control strategies can greatly contribute to bringing mechanical systems to their desired operating states in terms of suppressing unwanted vibrations but also in terms of amplifying useful ones. Original contributions related but not limited to the following topics are welcome:
- The modeling and simulation of vibration phenomena in mechanical systems;
- Linear and nonlinear vibration;
- Active and passive vibration control;
- Advanced control systems for vibration control;
- Vibration control implementation and experimental investigations;
- Mastering vibrations in robotic systems;
- NVH in autonomous vehicles;
- Machine learning-based approaches to vibration control.

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. Machines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
