Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, composite materials play a critical and pivotal role across all sectors of the transport industry, from automotive and railway to marine and aerospace. Their wide range of applications stems from several advantageous properties, including low weight, high stiffness and strength, excellent vibration damping, and strong resistance to corrosion. This Special Issue aims to collate both original research and review papers that address recent developments and emerging trends in the use of composites for transport machinery. It seeks to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to share their knowledge, insights, and practical experiences. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, novel composite materials, advanced manufacturing techniques, structural design and analysis, durability and fatigue performance, and case studies of real-world implementations. The goal is to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and accelerate innovation in the application of composites across the evolving landscape of transport technologies.

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. Machines 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.
