Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Acoustic properties of fibrous materials and fiber reinforced composites have been studied extensively for the purpose of sound insulation and absorption, as well as structural health monitoring. Nevertheless, little has been reported about their acoustic emission properties. Due to environmental concerns, wood harvesting is more and more restrictively regulated around the world. Therefore, much effort has been made to develop alternative materials, especially fiber reinforced composites, to replace wood for musical instruments for which acoustic emission properties are critically important. Therefore, designing a scientifically sound, easy-to-use and highly repeatable method for acoustic vibration tests of composites for percussion musical instruments could be critically important for material evaluation, selection and improvement.The acoustic vibration test may be used as a nondestructive test method for estimate flexural modulus of a material with a linear regression model.

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.
