Dear colleagues, we are excited to announce that the ASME Journal of Vibrations and Acoustics (JVA) invites submissions for a special issue on Topological Mechanics: Exploiting Geometric Phase in Mechanical & Acoustic Waves.
This special issue aims to publish original research contributions that explore both theoretical foundations and practical applications of topological acoustics and mechanics. A key focus will be on leveraging the geometric phase – an often underappreciated aspect of mechanical and acoustic waves – to address critical challenges across diverse domains.
If you are interested in highlighting your research in topological acoustics, please submit your article by August 16, 2026, following the link below:

We look forward to your contribution to this field of research!
