Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vibration and acoustic analysis is an interdisciplinary field, incorporating diverse subjects such as computational and numerical dynamic analysis, signal processing and sensor technology. Mechanical vibrations and sounds impact the design and performance of engineered devices and structures. Contemporary applications that cover the fields of structural dynamics, mechanical, aerospace and related engineering fields call for the adoption of advanced numerical simulation and design methods, as well as structural health monitoring schemes for the operation of engineering systems, with the aim of controlling the negative influences of vibration and noise, guiding the scheduling of maintenance actions and diminishing production costs.
The aim of this Special Issue is to gather recent developments in the field, focusing on critical issues and successful applications of vibration and acoustic analysis. The Special Issue welcomes contributions that cover, but are not limited to, theoretical, computational, experimental and practical aspects of vibration and acoustic analysis. Topics relevant to the session include, among others:
- Analytical, numerical and computational structural dynamics, vibration and acoustics analysis;
- Machinery dynamics and rotordynamics;
- Machinery noise and vibration;
- Fluid–structure interaction, aeroelasticity, flow-induced vibration and noise;
- Vibration-based structural health monitoring;
- Prediction of fatigue damage accumulation using monitoring data;
- Damage detection and localization;
- Optimal sensor location;
- Linear and nonlinear vibrations;
- AI and machine learning methods;
- Material systems and technologies for noise and vibration control;
- Experimental testing in vibration and structural acoustics.
Papers regarding experimental-field investigations and the results of long-term monitoring deployments are especially welcomed.

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.
