Material Systems and Structures in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that submissions are open for the Special Issue of Materials devoted to papers presented at the International Conference on Advances in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering (AAME 2019), held July 9–12, 2019 in Incheon, Korea.

AAME 2019 focused on the identification and assessment of the state-of-the-art technologies in aerospace and mechanical engineering and aims to promote exchange and collaboration across disciplines and borders to explore new territories and frontiers in this field. Topics included in this Special Issue are smart materials, structural systems, solutions and optimization, and tools and methodologies, as well as bio-inspired system design. Applications include aerospace, automotive, and morphing structures, energy harvesting, structural health monitoring, mechatronics, and robotics.

We invite you to submit high-quality research, technical, or review papers to this Special Issue, with an emphasis on innovative new and emerging technologies that encompass the broad meanings of material-based mechanical and aerospace engineering applications.

Some areas of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, new skills and application results on multi-functional materials and structures, advanced composite materials and structures, advanced manufacturing and design technology, advanced technologies in safety, PHM and reliability, advanced structural health management, advanced dynamics and control, multi-physics computational modelling and simulation, emerging applications of 3D printing in aerospace and mechanical engineering, metamaterial technologies, smart machines and sensors, etc.

If you need any further information about this Special Issue, please do not hesitate to contact us.

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. Materials 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 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.
