Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Finite element analysis (FEA) has become an indispensable tool in the design, optimization, and safety assessment of aerospace structures. With the increasing demand for lightweight, high-performance, and reliable components, advanced numerical modeling plays a critical role in addressing the challenges posed by complex geometries, multi-physics interactions, and harsh service environments. Recent developments in computational methods, high-fidelity simulations, and multi-scale modeling approaches have significantly enhanced our ability to predict structural responses under static, dynamic, thermal, and fatigue-loading conditions.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for scholars and engineers to present the latest advances in finite element modeling, numerical techniques, and engineering applications related to aerospace structures. Contributions covering novel simulation methodologies, experimental validation of FEA models, and case studies in structural integrity, reliability, and life prediction are particularly welcome. By bringing together diverse perspectives from academia and industry, this Special Issue seeks to promote knowledge exchange and foster innovative solutions to advance the future of aerospace structural analysis and design.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Aerospace is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
