Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit your original research or review papers to our new Special Issue entitled “Vibration Isolation and Control in Mechanical Systems” in Machines. Vibration is a phenomenon inherently present in virtually all mechanical systems, from small-scale devices to large industrial machines, and it plays a crucial role in both performance and safety. Vibrations must be isolated or suppressed in precision applications, such as semiconductor manufacturing, medical equipment, and advanced optics. On the other hand, vibrations can also be harnessed for beneficial purposes, including vibration-assisted manufacturing and vibration-based energy harvesting. To better manipulate and master vibrations, theoretical insights, innovative technologies, and practical implementations are essential.
This Special Issue aims to compile cutting-edge research that explores theoretical developments, integrates state-of-the-art techniques, and implements practical solutions for vibration isolation and control. We welcome original research articles, review papers, and case studies, with particular encouragement for contributions involving real-world experiments. Research topics may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Active and passive vibration control;
- Non-linear vibration control of mechanical systems;
- Advanced control algorithms and strategies for vibration suppression;
- Vibration isolation in precision instruments;
- Smart materials and structures for vibration suppression;
- Metamaterials and metastructures for vibration suppression;
- Modal analysis and frequency response analysis;
- Fluid–Structure Interaction (FSI) vibration control technology;
- Vibration-based energy harvesting techniques;
- Machine learning-based approaches to vibration control.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
