Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The trend in engineering structures has been toward them becoming taller and more slender, with examples such as building structures that exceed 800 meters in height and the main spans of cross-sea bridges that have reached 3000 meters in length. These structures are susceptible to various external dynamic loads, including winds, earthquakes, impacts, moving vehicles, environmental vibrations, etc. To improve the dynamic performance and safety of these structures, new types of damping devices, damping control methods, and vibration analysis strategies are extremely important, considering the complex loads and service conditions, and there is a growing need for new approaches to be proposed.

This Special Issue aims to collect and disseminate the latest research on the methods, devices, performance, and application of structural vibration control. We invite original research articles and reviews that encompass a wide range of topics including, but not limited to:

  • Multi-disaster vibration analysis of structures;
  • Advanced damping control strategies;
  • New damping devices, e.g.,inerter, negative stiffness, metamaterials, etc.;
  • AI technology in structural vibration control;
  • Applications of structural vibration control devices.

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. Buildings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
