Semi-active and Active Vibration Control Using Smart Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Smart materials can provide a seamless interface between mechanical and electronic control systems, and thus can be effectively utilized for the development of adaptive structures and devices for the purpose of vibration control. This Special Issue aims to invite state-of-the art reviews and original contributions in the field of active and semi-active vibration control using smart materials such as piezoelectric materials, shape memory alloys, electrorheological (ER) and magnetorheological (MR) materials, and magnetostrictive materials. Contributions related to vibration modeling, analysis, and control of flexible structures integrated with smart materials such as piezoelectric and magnetostrictive materials and shape memory alloys, the development of magnetorheological (MR)/electrorheological (ER) dampers and their integration with systems for vibration control applications, and the development of MR elastomers (MRE)-based devices and MRE-based systems for vibration isolation and control and development of novel active and semi-active vibration control strategies to attenuate vibration of smart structures are particularly encouraged.

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. Vibration is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
