Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydraulic and pneumatic systems are widely used in stationary and mobile equipment, in most cases being duplicated by specialized controls, from manual, mechanical, and electrical, to electronic, which makes these systems fast, accurate, efficient, and reliable, and can be digitally connected to process control. Thus, these systems are significantly included in the automotive, naval, and heavy industries, in the field of mobile equipment, and in the field of alternative energies, etc. Knowledge of the role played by each component is required in order to increase the productivity and precision of action.
Researchers from around the world who are interested in contributing to this Special Issue are invited to share their latest high-quality results and recent trends in future developments in the field. This Special Issue is a good opportunity to present the results, achievements, and developments of research and development units and higher education institutions in the field of hydraulic and pneumatic drives, so as to achieve the integration of all researchers in international scientific communities, as well as to increase the visibility of contribution to international scientific heritage.

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.
