Abstract

The symmetry concept is mainly used in two senses. The first from the aesthetic point of view of proportionality or harmony, since human beings seek symmetry in nature. Or the second, from an engineering point of view to attend to geometric regularities or to explain a repetition process or pattern in a given phenomenon. This special issue dedicated to geometry in engineering deals with this last concept, which aims to collect both the aspects of geometric solutions in engineering, which may even have a certain aesthetic character, and the aspect of the use of patterns that explain observed phenomena.

Highlights

  • Symmetry is a frequent pattern widely studied in different research fields

  • Complex systems with symmetry arise in engineering science

  • This Special Issue invites researchers to submit original research papers and review articles related to any engineering discipline where theoretical or practical issues of symmetry are considered

Summary

Introduction

Symmetry is a frequent pattern widely studied in different research fields. Complex systems with symmetry arise in engineering science (e.g., in mechanical engineering, symmetric and synchronized systems are often used to satisfy stability criteria for rotating structures; in electrical engineering, the study of symmetrical and asymmetrical faults in power systems is a critical issue; in telecommunications engineering, many systems are symmetrical since data speed or quantity is the same in both directions; in civil engineering, the strength of the objects depend on the symmetry; in computer engineering, symmetric network structures and symmetric algorithms are often studied, etc.). The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
