Theory and Application of Dynamical Systems in Mechanics

Dear Colleagues

In the past decades, non-linear phenomena have attracted the attention of researchers across many scientific fields. The development of technological devices and theories has led to new scientific results in the area of dynamical systems. These novel outcomes open new and prospective possibilities in widespread fields of science and engineering.

This Special Issue invites papers that focus on recent and novel developments in the theory of dynamical systems, their simulations, and their applications, especially on analytical, numerical, and experimental results showing non-linear phenomena with regular and irregular patterns focusing on mechanical systems.

This Special Issue will accept high-quality papers containing original research results and survey articles of exceptional merit in the following fields:

• Mechanical systems modelling and simulations;
• Ordinary and partial differential equations theory and numerics;
• Autonomous, non-autonomous, and piecewise-smooth dynamical systems;
• Chaos, chaos control, and anticontrol;
• Stability, multi-stability, and hidden and self-excited attractors;
• Entropy, 0–1 test for chaos, Lyapunov exponent, forecasting, and predictability;
• Real-world dynamical systems application in mechanics.

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. Mathematics 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.
