Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, research on symmetry and asymmetry in the field of ocean engineering has undergone a profound transformation from traditional assumptions to improved understanding, significantly enhancing insights into the interactions between complex marine environments and structures. The advancement of these studies is of great significance for ensuring the structural integrity of large vessels under extreme sea conditions, optimizing the fatigue-resistant design of offshore renewable energy platforms and improving the capacity to predict, prevent, and control coastal disaster risks. From understanding the symmetric response of structures to harnessing asymmetric loads from the environment, ocean engineering is continuously pushing the boundaries of design from this dialectical research perspective, expanding toward deeper, more distant, and safer waters.
Given your expertise in this field, we invite you to submit your recent research in the field of ocean engineering to this Special Issue, "Recent Advances in Symmetry/Asymmetry in Marine Engineering."
Our goal is to collect at least 10 articles, and the Special Issue may be printed in book form if this number is reached. This Special Issue primarily focuses on the latest applied research related to numerical analysis, geometric and structural optimization, machine learning, and artificial intelligence technologies for the study of symmetry/asymmetry in marine engineering.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following: machine learning, data structures, numerical analysis, geometric and structural optimization algorithms, and artificial intelligence.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Haichao Chang

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. Symmetry 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 2400 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.
