Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Due to the high interest of scientists in the first edition of Special Issue "Intelligent Mechatronic Systems—Materials, Sensors and Interfaces" published in Sensors journal, editors decided to continue this series as a second volume. Taking into account the balanced coverage of all scientific areas, the group of guest editors has been extended for the needs of the special issue.

Thematic scope of the special issue:

  • intelligent mechatronic systems in manufacturing and industrial robotics;
  • intelligent mechatronic systems and cyber-physical production systems;
  • intelligent mechatronic systems using Internet of Things (IoT);
  • intelligent mechatronic systems in smart factories;
  • decision support systems using artificial intelligence methods for mechatronic systems;
  • innovative human–machine interactions for intelligent mechatronic systems;
  • industrial big data analytics in Industry 4.0;
  • artificial intelligence applications in mechatronic systems;
  • intelligent materials;
  • innovative use of new materials;
  • testing the properties and structure of materials in Industry 4.0.

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. Sensors 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.

Although the vibration of rackets and the location of the sweet spot for players when hitting the ball is crucial, manufacturers do not specify this behavior precisely. This article analyses padel rackets, provides a solution to determine the sweet spot position (SSP), quantifies its behavior, and determines the level of vibration transmitted along the racket handle. The proposed methods serve to locate the SSP without quantifying it. This article demonstrates the development of equipment capable of analyzing the vibration behavior of padel rackets. To do so, it employs a robot that moves along the surface of the padel racket, striking it along its central line. Accelerometers are placed on a movable cradle where rackets are positioned and adjusted. A method for analyzing accelerometer signals to quantify vibration severity is proposed. The SSP and vibration behavior along the central line are determined and quantified. As a result of the study, 225 padel rackets are analyzed and compared. SSP is independent of the padel racket shape, balance, weight, moment of inertia, and padel racket shape (tear, diamond, or round) and is not located at the same position as the center of percussion.
