Advances and Applications in Vibration Engineering and Structural Dynamics

Structural dynamics and vibrations are essential aspects of structural engineering, as they help ensure the safety and reliability of structures. They can reveal potential failures, damage, or instabilities that may occur due to dynamic loads; support the analysis and design of structures that can withstand various loads and environmental conditions; and improve the performance and functionality of structures by optimizing their stiffness, damping, mass, shape, or material to achieve desired dynamic characteristics.

The objective of this Research Topic is to present recent and innovative advances in research studies and engineering applications across important areas of vibration engineering and structural dynamics, supporting the needs of professionals and researchers engaged in protecting civil and mechanical structures and infrastructure from a variety of external actions, such as earthquakes, wind, vibrations, and extreme loads.

This Research Topic can serve as a source of high-impact information for the global community of researchers, professors, engineers, practitioners, engineering students, and newcomers across a variety of disciplines who seek to learn more about the state of the art, challenging open problems, and innovative solutions in vibration engineering and structural dynamics.
