Electromechanics has been a cornerstone of technological progress since the advent of electricity, evolving significantly with the integration of mechanical and electrical components. This field encompasses a wide array of devices, from motors and generators to sophisticated micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). The complexity of electromechanical systems is evident in applications such as robotics, machine tools, and conveyor belts, where multiple elements interact seamlessly.
Despite the advancements, challenges persist in understanding and optimizing the oscillations and synchronization within these systems. Recent studies have highlighted the dynamic properties of electromechanical oscillations, yet gaps remain in fully comprehending their implications on system performance and stability. Current research is addressing these issues through innovative modeling, computational techniques, and experimental validations, but there is a pressing need for further exploration to enhance the technical, economic, and environmental aspects of these systems.

This research topic aims to provide a platform for discussing and advancing techniques related to the modeling, computation, and experimental validation of electromechanical systems. The primary objective is to foster a deeper understanding of electromechanical principles and to expand their applications in both academic and industrial settings. Key questions include how to improve the synchronization and control of oscillations, and how to leverage these insights to develop novel devices that push the boundaries of current technology. By addressing these questions, the research seeks to contribute to the development of more efficient and sustainable electromechanical systems.

To gather further insights in the dynamics and synchronization of electromechanical systems, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:

• Dynamics of oscillations in electromechanical systems, including bursting phenomena;
