Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Elastic waves are typical motion forms of engineering symmetric and asymmetric structures. The mechanical vibration of major equipment, such as large spacecraft/aircraft, underwater vehicles, precision machine tools, etc., is essentially the superposition of elastic waves inside their structural components. The studies of elastic wave propagation and manipulation have been an important research topic in mechanics since the 1950s. These studies can help to understand the complex structural vibration and breakthrough technical performance limits in engineering. For example, the recent emergence of elastic metamaterial/metasurfaces, capable of flexibly manipulating elastic waves and breaking the symmetry of the system, has advanced the development of low-frequency vibration suppression, energy harvesting, acoustoelastic devices, and wave engineering. This Special Issue welcomes researchers to contribute to elastic wave manipulations and their applications in structural vibration control, including new physical mechanisms, calculation methods, structure designs, and optimization methods.

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.
