Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Structural dynamics and related vibration control problems are amongst the most researched topics in aerospace, marine, civil, as well as mechanical engineering applications today. In this respect, the aim of this Special Issue is to share knowledge and to foster and boost discussions on the latest computational methods and experimental techniques employed to analyse and investigate complex dynamics systems and structures, including low-, medium- and high-frequency range problems in the former, and the latest and most advanced composite materials in the latter.
Stability analysis of both determinist and stochastic dynamics systems and related control techniques is suitable for this Special Issue. In addition, investigations of nonlinear systems or linear systems with localised nonlinearities are also invited.
Moreover, along with classical metallic alloys, analyses of fibre-reinforced composites and laminates, functionally-graded materials (FGMs), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene nanoplatelets (GPLs), as well as innovative and advanced classes of composites are welcome. In addition, the submission of articles focused on smart materials such as piezoelectric sensors and actuators, shape memory alloys, magnetorheological materials, and magnetostrictive and electrostrictive materials, among others—employed for vibration control issues—is highly 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.
