Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, composite structures represent a consolidated design opportunity for numerous industrial applications involving plates, shells, and grid structures, especially if the design demands the combination of outstanding structural performances and mass savings. Stemming from the aeronautic and aerospace industries, the interest in this topic is continuously increasing even in other industrial sectors, motivated by the growing need for mass reduction, structural efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
The design of composite structures involves different aspects including structural analysis, buckling assessment, and dynamic analysis. The optimization of the structure is another crucial point, and different techniques have been proposed and are currently being explored. Additionally, the manufacturing process represents an important and determinant challenge for the further diffusion of composite material solutions.
In this context, this Special Issue aims to gather innovative contributions in the field of composite structure design. Original contributions regarding analytical or numerical methodologies of analysis, applied case studies, and the simulation of the manufacturing process are welcome.

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. Buildings 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 2600 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.
