Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Among the big challenges of research, the sustainability of technologies is more and more important. The aim to increase the compatibility of the human activities with the environment, increase of efficiency, reduction of weight and substitution of pollutant materials with “greener” ones forces engineers to great efforts in designing new components. In particular, the reduction of weight, the increase of power density, the increase of operative velocity and the adoption of different materials tend to prone components to vibrate and to reduce their life. The goal of this special issue is to collect important novelties in the field of life assessment and dynamic behavior of machine components in order to provide designers with more effective methodologies and to suggest new design approaches. This special issue wants to highlight all the advances in the dynamic analysis of machine components and in particular in rotating elements, such as gearboxes, powertrains, machinery systems. Contributions in methodologies for analyzing dynamics of complex systems and for estimating the life cycle of components taking into account the growing performances and new materials are welcome. New technologies in testing materials and systems, together with proposals of material models and damage cumulation for fatigue assessment are particularly appreciated. In addition, this special issue wants to be an occasion for the researchers to exchange information, methodologies and possible collaborations.

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. Sustainability 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 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
