There are many shock and vibration problems in the design and analysis of mechanical structures coupled with rotational systems, which presents significant new challenges for the promotion and application of these structures.

It is obvious that shock and vibration are detrimental to the normal operation of mechanical structures coupled with rotational systems, reducing efficiency and degrading the safety and reliability of the structures. Moreover, vibration-induced noise is a common source of environmental nuisance, which causes discomfort to people and can cause damage to the structure. Shock and vibration signals can provide ample information on the work state of the structure, aiding the diagnosis of any potential faults, and modal analysis is essential for controlling noise and vibration and enhancing safety and stability. However, noise and vibration in mechanical structures coupled with rotational systems and its control still represent a serious challenge to researchers, engineers, and constructors.

This Special Issue is dedicated to the most recent advances in research into shock and vibration in mechanical structures coupled with rotational systems and its control. We invite scientists and investigators to contribute original research and review articles, addressing the main issues facing the field.
