Advances in Dynamic Analysis of Multibody Mechanical Systems

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements in the modeling, simulation, and dynamic analysis of multibody mechanical systems. These systems, composed of multiple interconnected bodies interacting through joints and external forces, find applications in a wide range of fields, from automotive to aerospace and robotics to biomechanics. In particular, it will focus on theoretical and practical developments that enhance the understanding of complex dynamic behaviors, with particular attention to innovative numerical approaches, optimization methods, and advanced control techniques. Studies addressing topics such as nonlinear dynamics, system stability, and real-time simulation will be of special interest. Contributions that demonstrate the application of these advancements in real-world scenarios, highlighting improvements in efficiency, accuracy, and computational performance, are highly encouraged.

Researchers, engineers, and innovators are encouraged to contribute original research articles, case studies, and reviews that enhance our understanding of the dynamic analysis of multibody mechanical systems, providing new insights and advancing the field.

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.
