Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Mechanical systems are fundamental to industries ranging from manufacturing to transportation, energy, and beyond. Ensuring their efficiency, safety, and longevity requires innovative approaches to monitoring and analyzing vibrations, which often serve as key indicators of the system’s health. Advanced signal processing techniques further extract meaningful insights from complex vibration data, driving the development of smarter, more reliable systems.

This Special Issue, Vibration Monitoring and Signal Processing in Mechanical Systems aims to bring together cutting-edge research and practical applications in this dynamic field. We invite original contributions that explore advancements in vibration measurement, diagnostic techniques, signal analysis, and emerging technologies that enhance the understanding and performance of mechanical systems.

Submissions are welcome on, but not limited to, the following topics:

  • Advanced signal processing methods for vibration analysis.
  • Machine learning and AI techniques in vibration diagnostics.
  • Real-time monitoring systems for mechanical components.
  • Fault detection and prediction in rotating machinery.
  • Vibration analysis in extreme environments.
  • Sensor development and data acquisition strategies.
  • Case studies in industrial applications of vibration monitoring.

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. 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.
