Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Structural dynamics of construction materials comprise a rapidly evolving field that analyzes material performance when subjected to external forces and vibrations, such as wind, earthquakes, blasts and traffic. Significant advancements in recent years in the structural dynamics of construction materials provide theoretical guidance for the planning, design, performance evaluation and maintenance of civil engineering structures.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers to share their latest findings and innovations in this field. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Linear and nonlinear dynamics;
- Elastoplastic dynamics;
- Fracture mechanics;
- Granular mechanics;
- Wind effects and aeroelasticity;
- Soil/structure interactions;
- Seismic engineering;
- Base isolation and seismic dampers;
- Tall and slender buildings;
- Blasts and impacts;
- Dynamic simulation;
- Structural health monitoring;
- Passive and active control.
Particularly, studies on the mechanical and physicochemical behavior of complex construction materials such as asphalt mixtures and steel concrete are of high interest in this Special Issue. Moreover, the application of novel dynamic theories or improvement of the existing theory in modeling construction materials behaviors, and the development of new structural types, new construction materials and methods are also the focus of continuous evolution.
This Special Issue is open to research works developed based on these topics. We invite the submission of new research, case studies, projects, reviews and state-of-the-art discussions as well.

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.
