Symmetry in Engineering Sciences II

Abstract

<jats:p>Symmetry can be understood in two different ways: as a property or as a principle. As Plato said, the symmetry that can be seen in nature is not random in itself, because it is a result of the symmetries of the physical laws. Thus, the principles of symmetry have been used to solve mechanical problems since antiquity. Today, these principles are still being researched; for example, in chemical engineering, the spatial symmetry properties of crystal lattices are being studied, or in electrical engineering, the temporal symmetry of the periodic processes of oscillators can be observed. This Special Issue is dedicated to symmetry in engineering sciences (electrical, mechanical, civil, and others) and aims to cover both engineering solutions related to symmetry and the search for patterns to understand the phenomena observed.</jats:p>

Classification and Effects of Symmetry of Mechanical Structure and Its Application in Design

“…Symmetry is ubiquitous in nature, as well as in engineering. Reference [1] summarizes the research on symmetry in various fields of engineering (mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, computer engineering, etc.). Symmetry plays a role in solving problems, so it has attracted widespread attention from different disciplines.…”
