Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of materials science and structural engineering has witnessed remarkable advancements in recent years, driven by the increasing demand for high-performance materials and complex structures across industries. A key challenge in this domain lies in understanding and predicting material behavior across multiple length and time scales, from atomic interactions to macroscopic mechanical properties. This Special Issue, "Multi-Scale Analysis and Computing of Materials and Structures", aims to showcase cutting-edge research that bridges theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches to address these challenges.
The scope of this issue encompasses a wide range of topics, including but not limited to the following:
- Multi-scale modeling techniques (e.g., molecular dynamics, finite element methods, or homogenization theories).
- Computational algorithms for coupling different scales (e.g., concurrent, hierarchical, or adaptive methods).
- Machine learning and data-driven approaches to accelerate multi-scale simulations.
- Experimental validation of multi-scale predictions in materials (e.g., composites, biomaterials, or metamaterials).
- Applications in structural engineering, such as fracture mechanics, fatigue analysis, and design optimization.

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-blind 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.
