Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, significant advances have been achieved in computational methods used for modeling seismic wave propagation as well as for engineering and scientific applications, such as geomaterial characterization, soil-structure interaction, elastic metamaterials, etc. Depending on the application of interest, the temporal and spatial scales of the simulation, constitutive laws, interface and boundary conditions, and numerical schemes need to be judiciously selected. This Special Issue will publish high-quality, original research papers, in (but not limited to) the overlapping fields of the following computational modeling studies in seismic wave propagation analyses and structural dynamics:
- Numerical methods for solving governing wave physics equations (finite element method, spectral element method, boundary element method, discrete element method, meshfree method);
- Wave-absorbing boundary condition (perfectly matched layers, infinite elements);
- Soil dynamics and/or ground motion simulations;
- Structural dynamics;
- Soil-structure interaction;
- Domain reduction method;
- Simulations of liquefaction and/or waves in poroelastic media;
- Fluid-solid interaction and/or earthquake-induced sloshing;
- Nonlinear dynamics;
- Time-domain or frequency-domain analysis;
- Site characterization and/or inverse problem;
- Probabilistic modeling and/or uncertainty quantification;
- Seismic metamaterial and/or seismic cloaking;
- Seismic analyses of structures (bridges, dams, levees, retaining walls, buildings, tunnels, railroads, etc.);
- Multiphysics simulations for structural characterization;
- Large-scale simulation of seismic wave motion.

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. 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.
