Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nonlinear dynamics is pivotal to understanding and designing mechanical systems, automation processes, and control strategies. From robotic manipulators to autonomous vehicles, these systems' inherent nonlinearities present challenges and opportunities for innovation. This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research, advancements, and applications of nonlinear dynamics, focusing on mechanical systems, automation, and control.
This Special Issue will cover, but is not limited to, the following themes:
- Nonlinear Modeling and Analysis: techniques for modeling and analyzing nonlinear mechanical systems.
- Chaos and Stability: studies on chaotic behavior, stability analysis, and bifurcation phenomena.
- Control of Nonlinear Systems: advanced control strategies, including adaptive, robust, and intelligent control.
- Automation and Robotics: the applications of nonlinear dynamics in automation, robotics, and autonomous systems.
- Energy Harvesting and Vibration Control: nonlinear approaches to energy harvesting and vibration suppression.
- Machine Learning and AI in Nonlinear Systems: the integration of AI and machine learning into systems for predictive modeling and control.
We believe this Special Issue will provide valuable insights and foster collaboration among researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of nonlinear dynamics, mechanical systems, and control. We look forward to receiving your contributions and making this Special Issue a success.

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.
