About this journal The purpose of the Journal of Nonlinear Engineering is to provide a medium for dissemination of original research results in theoretical, experimental, practical, and applied nonlinear phenomena in engineering. The journal serves as a forum to exchange new ideas and applications of nonlinear problems occurring in automation and control, aeronautical, biological, civil, chemical, communication, electrical, industrial, mechanical, mathematical, physical, and structural systems engineering. The articles will be considered for publication if they examine nonlinearities in any engineering systems to provide a more realistic mathematical modeling, new design using nonlinearities of the system, stabilizing the system by taking advantage of nonlinearity, discovering the real behavior of the system by including nonlinearity, optimizing the system based on nonlinear interactions, development algorithms to tame nonlinearities and taking advantage of them. The journal considers submissions of different types of articles."Research Articles" are focused on fundamental theoretical aspects, as well as on significant applications in science, engineering etc."Rapid Communications" are intended to present information of exceptional novelty and exciting results of significant interest to the readers. "Review articles" and "Commentaries", which present the existing literature on the specific topic from new perspectives, are welcome as well.
