Sensing Technologies and Measurement Techniques in Mechanical Vibrations and Structural Dynamics

Dear Colleagues,

The main scope of this special issue is to gather state-of-the-art research adding the latest scientific advancements in the field of mechanical vibrations and structural dynamics. It will combine fundamental research on sensing technology, measurement, modeling and identification techniques used in mechanical structures and other relevant engineering applications. The presented papers are expected to make demonstrable original contributions to the scientific world.

Structural vibration has a significant impact on the integrity/performance of the structures. For instance, structural vibration plays a key role in the design stage of many Mechanical Engineering applications in aerospace, automotive and energy (i.e., rotating machinery) industries. The scope covered in this special issue includes, but is not limited to, topics such as Structural dynamics, Inverse problems in vibration, Improvement of finite element models using experimental data, Modelling and identification of nonlinear mechanical joints, Frictional contact interface modelling, Uncertainty quantification in structural dynamics, Dynamics of rotating machinery and Machining vibrations.

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. Sensors 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.
