Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vibration is abundant in the environment, such as mechanical vibration, human movement, wind-induced vibration, wave fluctuations, etc. Vibration energy harvesting holds great potential to achieve the zero-carbon self-powered Internet of Things for potential applications in environment monitoring and disaster early warning systems, human health monitoring and disease diagnosis, equipment in condition monitoring and fault diagnosis, smart cities, etc. Therefore, the investigation of materials, dynamic theories, designs, experiments, and applications of vibration energy harvesting has developed significantly in the last decade. This Special Issue aims to focus on advances in the field of vibration and energy harvesting, with topics including, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Nonlinear vibration theory, dynamic modeling, and analysis methods;
- Electromechanical conversion mechanisms and functional materials;
- Vibration energy harvesting and applications;
- Self-powered drive and micro–nanorobots;
- Self-powered sensing for wearables and implants;
- Nanoenergy applications in MEMS, E-skin, and AI;
- Self-powered systems for IoT applications;
- Energy storage and self-charging power systems;
- Acoustic/mechanical metamaterials for energy utilization and harvesting;
- Vibration control, utilization, and other related topics.

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.
