Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nonlinear structural and mechanical systems are known to exhibit extensively rich and complex motion patterns. Such a diverse vibrational response is characterized by the presence of bifurcations, multiple coexisting modes, period doubling, and chaos. It is also documented that some manufacturing processes—for example, metal cutting —exhibit nonlinear vibrations that may include unpredictable chaotic behavior. Nonlinear and chaotic vibrations are usually described using tools such as iterated maps, phase plane analysis, Poincaré sections, bifurcation diagrams, fractal dimension, statistical parameters, and time–frequency wavelet analysis. Understanding the correlation between the patterns of symmetry in the vibration response and system parameters is fundamental to predicting and controlling these nonlinear systems. This Special Issue emphasizes the implications of symmetry and asymmetry of nonlinear vibrations and chaotic motion and the consideration of symmetry in structural properties that influence system response. Referring to nonlinear vibrations and chaos, this Special Issue welcomes novel research papers and comprehensive reviews dealing with recent theoretical and experimental developments within the scope of this journal.

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. Symmetry 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.
