Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Composite materials have become the material of choice in high-end equipment fields such as aerospace, wind power generation, and modern construction due to their excellent lightweight characteristics, excellent specific strength, and highly designable properties. However, the vibration behavior of composite structures under dynamic loading presents significant anisotropic characteristics, complex damping mechanisms, and cross-scale coupling effects, which pose significant challenges to their dynamic performance, fatigue reliability, and noise suppression.
This Special Issue of Materials focuses on the vibration behavior of composite structures, aiming to bring together the most innovative theoretical breakthroughs, numerical simulation methods, and experimental characterization techniques in this field. The Special Issue focuses on the following research directions: (a) theoretical modeling and numerical simulation, such as analytical and numerical methods, multi-scale dynamics modeling, and nonlinear vibration analysis; (b) experimental characterization techniques, such as advanced testing methods, extreme environmental vibration test, damping performance evaluation; (c) vibration control and optimization, such as passive/active control technologies, smart material applications, and machine learning-assisted optimization. This Special Issue especially welcomes original research on advanced composite systems and their engineering applications.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
