Symmetry in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics

Dear Colleagues,

The main purpose of this Special Issue is to encourage researchers to share the latest developments in the field of theoretical and applied mechanics. New formulations are based on vector and homogeneous transformations, matrix exponentials, tensors, and quaternions. Applied kinematics and elastokinematics involve the use of higher-order accelerations. Advanced dynamics uses D’Alembert, Lagrange, Hamilton, Gibbs–Appell, Gauss, and variational equations from analytical mechanics, as well fundamental theorems in Newtonian mechanics. Dynamics and elastodynamics are also based on symmetry and friction types from physical links. For rapid movements, the dynamics studies are extended to higher-order acceleration energies.

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.
