Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Structural dynamics refers to a type of analysis that covers the behavior of a structure after exposure to dynamic excitations. Symmetry/asymmetry in structural dynamics can be considered among the most important notions in determing the behavior of a physical structure when subjected to force. In this regard, it should be expressed that the investigation of applications based on symmetry/asymmetry in the structural analysis of dynamic structures is very important in engineering applications such as submarines, rocket fuel tanks, satellite support structures, missiles, underwater toroidal pressure hull, and fusion reactor containers. It is therefore no surprise that a large number of researchers have been investigating the structural analysis of these structures under various dynamic excitations for decades.
The aim of the present Special Issue is to investigate the application of symmetry/asymmetry in the dynamic structures, which can be extremely useful in engineering and mechanical applications. For instance, symmetry analysis in structural dynamics can help researchers to identify mode localization and energy transfer mechanisms.
We solicit contributions (research and review articles) that cover a broad range of topics on applications related to symmetry/asymmetry in structural dynamics, including (but not limited to) the following areas:
- Symmetry analysis in structural dynamics;
- Asymmetric structures and vibration modes;
- Utilizing asymmetry in structural dynamics to enhance structural response and stability;
- Investigating the effects of symmetry breaking on vibration modes and modal analysis of complex structural systems;
- Applications of symmetry/asymmetry in structural dynamics;
- Symmetry-based design principles in structural dynamics;
- Exploiting symmetry/asymmetry in structural dynamics to enhance the structural efficiency and load-carrying capacity;
- Dynamic control through structural asymmetry.

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. Symmetry 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.
