Recent Advances in N/MEMS Nonlinear Dynamics

Dear Colleagues,

Since the rise of Integrated Circuit (IC) technology in 1990, nano/microelectromechanical systems (N/MEMS) have increasingly attracted considerable interest due to their small size and low power consumption. Due to the effects of micro size and multi-energy coupling, N/MEMS systems can be easily driven into nonlinear regimes, which leads to rich nonlinear phenomena such as internal resonance, super/sub-harmonic synchronization, frequency locking, dynamic pull-in, frequency comb response, etc. Recent research has found that some of the nonlinear effects can be utilized to improve the dynamic performance of N/MEMS systems, which provides novel ideas for the design of high-performance sensing, actuating, or memory devices. Thus, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers, communications, and review articles that focus on recent advances in the field of the nonlinear dynamics of N/MEMS systems.

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. Micromachines 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 2100 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.
