Mathematical Methods and Simulations in Mechanics and Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

The development of new mathematical methods and the extension of existing methods and procedures significantly influence the solution to different problems in theoretical and applied mechanics and engineering. Numerical methods, such as finite element, boundary element, and meshless methods, have played important roles in numerical simulations of complex and coupled problems in engineering mechanics, such as solid–fluid mechanics, parametric optimization, complex stress–strain analysis, the application of new materials, and thermal-solid models in real mechanical systems. This forms the basis for new solutions in engineering design, increasing energy efficiency and effective prediction of the behavior of different mechanical systems under complex real conditions.

This Special Issue will focus on advanced and contemporary research in mechanics and engineering, especially on developing advanced applications of new mathematical methods for effective simulations of complex problems, including analytical and numerical methods.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
