Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Magnetorheological (MR) technology has received considerable research attention in recent decades. MR materials, such as MR fluids, MR elastomers, MR greases, MR foams, etc., have been developed and widely investigated. Owing to the advantages of controllable properties, low energy consumption, and fast and reversible responses, devices such as MR dampers/ absorbers/ isolators are deemed ideal choices in adaptive control systems to address major engineering issues such as vibration control and impact protection in the application of vehicles, aircraft, buildings, robots, and so on.

This is a call for a Special Issue on “Adaptive Control Using Magnetorheological Technology”. The Special Issue will provide a platform for scholars and researchers to showcase their recent progress and findings, whilst highlighting key challenges and difficulties for future study in this field. The submitted papers are expected to contribute innovative ideas and major breakthroughs in the application of MR technology in adaptive control. Acceptable research topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Fundamental investigations on MR materials;
  • Advanced magnetorheological devices and structures;
  • Cutting-edge control theories and algorithms for MR applications;
  • Vibration attenuation, isolation and absorption based on MR systems for vehicles, buildings, railway systems, etc.;
  • Other applications of MR technology, such as the impact protection of the landing gear of aircrafts.

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.
