Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Addressing climate change by achieving country-wide net-zero emission energy supply and vehicle fleets within 30 years presents both a tremendous engineering challenge and innovation opportunity. A significant part of this energy revolution is designing structures for power generation and transportation that are lightweight, durable, power-efficient, and cost-efficient.
Vibration response is a critical element of structural design and overall machine performance. This Special Issue focuses on the role of modeling and computation in understanding the behavior of and optimizing designs for machine vibration.
Vibrating machine design and operation challenges encompass cost-performance tradeoffs and the need for adaptability to time-varying environmental characteristics. Computational techniques enable fundamental understanding and optimization of complex system vibrations. These computational approaches need to balance model fidelity with computational efficiency, sufficiently explore structural, and controller design spaces during the design stage, and reliably monitor machine health during the operation stage.
This Special Issue of Vibration is to assemble papers that encompass recent advances in computational modeling and optimization for renewable energy machines and vehicle vibration response.
The Special Issue will cover a range of topics including but not limited to the following:
Machine design applications:
- Lightweight, efficient, and durable structural design in the presence of environmental vibrations.
- Robust and adaptive control for vibration.
- Emerging machine learning techniques for monitoring machine health (Industry 4.0).
- Renewable energy and zero-emission machines.
- Solutions for vibration mitigation or power maximization in renewable energy machines.
- Cost analysis.
- Experimental verification.
Modeling and computational approaches:
- Computational methods for accurate real-time simulation of structural vibrations.
- Model order reduction.
- Methods for predicting lifetime performance statistics.
- Optimization.
- Machine learning approaches for design or predictive maintenance.
- Digital twin.
- Generative design.
- Design support system.

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.
