Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Intelligent spindle modelling and vibration analysis have become key focusses for advancing modern manufacturing. Spindles are central to machining processes, and their dynamic behaviour directly influences productivity, precision, and tool life. One of the long-standing challenges has been to develop models that accurately represent the complex interactions of stiffness, damping, and cutting forces, which often lead to chatter and other vibration instabilities. Recent trends highlight the growing role of artificial intelligence and data-driven diagnostics; however, physics-based modelling and dynamic characterisation remain essential. In particular, leveraging symmetry in spindle structures and vibration modes offers additional insight into dynamic responses, enabling more reliable vibration analysis and robust system control. Intelligent approaches that combine physical models with advanced signal processing and machine learning now provide the foundation for real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance.
The integration of these techniques is raising expectations for high-speed machining, where spindles must operate under increasingly complex conditions with greater stability and precision. Research in this field is therefore moving toward hybrid modelling, intelligent fault detection algorithms, and adaptive monitoring systems. By bridging raw vibration data with actionable insights, intelligent spindle modelling plays a pivotal role in achieving more resilient, adaptive, and high-performance manufacturing 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 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. 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.
