Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid evolution of engineering systems in fields such as automotive, aerospace, and civil infrastructure, the demand for advanced vibration control, suppression, and isolation techniques has become greater than ever. The increasing complexity of modern systems and their requirements for high performance, precision, safety, and durability have brought forth innovative approaches that go beyond conventional vibration mitigation strategies. Traditional methods are evolving with the development of nonlinear absorbers, smart materials such as magnetorheological elastomers and shape memory alloys, and cutting-edge metamaterials. These technologies enhance system performance, safety, and longevity while also contributing to energy efficiency and sustainability.
This Special Issue invites researchers and practitioners to share their latest research, focusing on theoretical insights, experimental studies, and practical applications of vibration mitigation technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Nonlinear and adaptive vibration control systems;
- Metamaterials and metastructures for vibration suppression;
- Smart materials and their applications in vibration isolation;
- Additive manufacturing of custom vibration control components;
- Energy harvesting from vibrations;
- Advanced algorithms for active vibration control.
This Special Issue will highlight novel trends and breakthroughs that address the complex challenges of vibration control in modern engineering systems. We welcome original research, reviews, and case studies that push the boundaries of vibration mitigation technology.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Machines 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 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.
