Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in the dynamics and control of vibratory systems are reshaping how modern engineers tackle noise, fatigue, and safety across critical infrastructures and high-tech devices. From aircraft and naval structures to robotic manipulators, precision manufacturing, and biomedical devices, vibration is no longer seen merely as a “problem” to be mitigated, but as a phenomenon to be deeply understood and, in many cases, intelligently exploited and controlled.
This Special Issue, titled "Advances in Dynamics and Control of Vibratory Systems: Innovations and Applications", invites the submission of original research papers. It aims to provide a platform for scholars and practitioners to disseminate their latest theoretical, experimental, and technical advances, as well as to identify emerging themes and open challenges that can guide future work in the area. Submissions should offer novel insights and demonstrate clear potential contributions to both theory and experimental and industrial practice.
Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Vibration dynamics and control in civil and military applications;
- Vibration mitigation in structures and vehicles subject to wave and wind loads;
- Control of vibrations in machine tools, additive manufacturing platforms, and others, where high-level stability and precision translates directly into product quality;
- Vibroacoustic optimization in vehicles, enhancing comfort while reducing weight and energy consumption.

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. 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.
