Structural Design and Computational Methods

Dear Colleagues,

Structural design is a field of applied mechanics, dedicated to the study of deformations, stresses, flexibility, dynamics, and material properties.

Nowadays, the structural design and computational methods are a very active research field, due to the search for innovative solutions, the study of structural behaviour and the characterization of new materials applied in different engineering applications.

The goal of this special issue ‘’Structural Design and Computational Methods’’ is to bring together the latest developments and challenges.

This Special Issue aims to discuss these aspects, giving a clear and complete overview in these fields. New trends will be discussed along with the recent developments and solutions that are still under investigation.

Original articles in the following topics are welcome for submission. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Stresses analysis
• Thermal analysis
• Computational solutions
• Experimental solutions

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.
