The Special Issue is in honor of the 70th birthday of Fabio Casciati and Lucia Faravelli, both retired Professors from the University of Pavia, Italy. It is promoted by the International Research Center for Mathematics & Mechanics of Complex Systems (M&MoCS) and the AIMETA group of “Dynamics and Stability” (GADeS) in the spirit of their aim, that is the promotion of the scientific interaction both in Italy and abroad between researchers from different backgrounds, operating in the fields of Applied and Computational Mechanics by analytical, computational and experimental works. The integration of researchers, who are studying particular and/or complementary problems, such as Identification and Control problems, appears very important to the group since it can enlarge his range of interests. Therefore, this Special Issue is devoted to disseminate the current developments and trends in the area of structural control and in the related fields as auspicated by the International Association for Structural Control and Monitoring (IASCM) and the European Association for the Control of Structures (EACS). During their Academic careers, Professor Fabio Casciati and Professor Lucia Faravelli deeply contributed to the spread and development of the discipline by acting as members and high representative of both these two Associations.
