Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, “Nonlinear Dynamics and Control of Vibrations”, aims to present cutting-edge research on the modeling, analysis, and control of nonlinear vibrational and fluid–structure interaction phenomena across mechanical, aerospace, civil, and other related engineering disciplines.

Contributions are expected to address challenges such as chaos, bifurcations, rotordynamics, flow-induced vibrations, vibration suppression, and the development of innovative control strategies—including flow field control techniques.

We welcome original research and review articles that advance the understanding of nonlinear vibration mechanisms, stability enhancement, performance optimization, and offer novel solutions for practical engineering applications, especially those involving fluid–flow coupling and unsteady aerodynamic effects. This Special Issue seeks to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and promote the integration of theoretical insights with 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. Mathematics 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.
