Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced materials and innovative structural designs have emerged as the core driving forces for technological progess in precision manufacturing fields such as aerospace, marine engineering and automotive engineering. With the rapid development of lightweight, high-strength and multifunctional materials, the dynamic behaviors of these material–structure systems, including vibration characteristics, dynamic stability and nonlinear dynamics, have become critical research focuses that directly determine reliability and service life.
The dynamic performance of advanced materials and new structures is governed by multiple coupled factors, such as material constitutive relationships, topological configurations, boundary conditions and loading rates. These complexities bring great challenges to the establishment of accurate dynamic models, numerical simulation methods and experimental verification systems. In recent years, significant progress has been made in advanced testing techniques, numerical computational dynamics, as well as machine learning in characterizing and predicting the dynamic behaviors of complex material–structure systems. These approaches efficiently identify dynamic parameters, quickly predict dynamic responses, and reveal the dynamic behaviors of new materials and structures, providing a foundation for the optimization of high-strength structural designs.
This Special Issue aims to collate cutting-edge theories, numerical and experimental studies on the dynamic characteristics of new materials and structures. We welcome the submission of original research covering dynamic modeling, dynamic response analysis, vibration control, experimental characterization, and data-based dynamic prediction methods. We sincerely invite researchers and engineers in related fields to submit high-quality papers and share the latest advancements in this important interdisciplinary 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. 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.
