Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnetorheological (MR) technology has attracted considerable research attention in recent decades. MR materials, such as MR fluids, MR elastomers, MR greases, and MR foams, have been developed and widely investigated. Owing to the merits of controllable properties, low energy consumption, and a fast and reversible response, devices like MR dampers/absorbers/isolators are deemed ideal choices in adaptive control systems to address major engineering issues such as vibration control and impact protection in the application of vehicles, aircraft, buildings, robots, and so on.
We are pleased to present this Special Issue, entitled “Adaptive Control Using Magnetorheological Technology”. We aim for this Special Issue to act as a platform for scholars and researchers to showcase their recent progress and findings whilst also highlighting key challenges and difficulties to be addressed in future studies in this field. Papers are expected to house innovative ideas and make major breakthroughs in the application of MR technology in adaptive control. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Fundamental investigations in MR materials;
- Advanced magnetorheological devices and structures;
- Cutting-edge control theories and algorithms for MR applications;
- Vibration attenuation, isolation, and absorption based on MR systems for vehicles, buildings, railway systems, etc.;
- Other applications of MR technology, such as the impact protection of the landing gear of aircraft.

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.
