Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Structures can develop lateral displacements, accelerations, and significant vibrations under wind, wave, and seismic hazards, which can create the potential for damage and loss of life and property. Vibration control technology is an important method to address the issue of structural vibrations without significantly enhancing the structures. The main scope of structural vibration control is the suppression, or at least the attenuation, of undesirable vibrations by means of passive, semiactive, or active devices. The most commonly used devices are the tuned mass damper, buckling-restrained brace, viscous fluid damper, viscoelastic damper, metallic damper, and friction damper, among others.
Vibration control is a theme that many researchers have been focusing their attention on in recent years. In this Special Issue, we solicit high-quality original research articles focused on the developments and applications of novel vibration control strategies in various types of structures.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel vibration control strategies, including active, semi-active, and passive control technologies;
- Synergistic application of different vibration control strategies;
- Vibration control of buildings/ bridges under wind and seismic hazards;
- Vibration control of offshore structures under wind and wave hazards;
- Successful case studies of applying vibration control technologies in real engineering projects.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
