Dear Colleagues,

The development of computational methods makes it possible to conduct advanced analyses related to the generation and transmission of vibration, and the use of vibration in the assessment of technical condition. The search for sources of vibration and analysis of its transmission requires the application of various computational methods, including both computer simulations and multi-sensor test bench measurements. Vibration signals are also a valuable source of information on the technical condition. Early detection of faults increases reliability and prevents unforeseen failures. The developed calculation methods facilitate quickly finding symptoms of wear and damage of components, and enable the determination of measures of changes in the technical condition.

For this Special Issue, I invite the submission of original papers and reviews of scientific papers presenting innovative solutions in the field of computational methods dedicated to the generation and transmission of vibrations, as well as the application of vibration in the assessment of technical conditions. I encourage you to present new computational methods encompassing simulation tests and the analysis of signals recorded during bench tests. This Special Issue is dedicated to the presentation of calculation methods using advanced signal processing in the time and frequency domains, and the use of artificial intelligence methods in the research. Should you have any queries, please contact me by e-mail.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
