Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit your recent research on the effective properties of various composite materials and their numerical simulations. Submissions related to new mathematical models, algorithms, numerical methods, and, in particular, engineering applications, as well as literature reviews, are welcomed. These will be very important in understanding and further optimizing existing composites, as well as developing new heterogeneous and/or multi-component materials.
This Special Issue will specifically collect studies related to statistical and probabilistic approaches in determining the effective material and physical characteristics of layered, particulate, and fibrous composites, including nano-structures. Studies on the practical problems of engineering composites and simulations seeking new solutions are welcome, as are applications of various statistical, probabilistic, and stochastic computer methods.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following topics:
- Multiscale analyses with the finite element method and its extended versions;
- Homogenization methods and their applications;
- Multiphysics simulations and coupled problem solutions;
- Interface problems and geometrical and material imperfections at different scales;
- Optimization of the architecture and components’ composition;
- Application of AI tools in composite material simulations;
- Reliability assessment and durability predictions for composites.
The First Edition of this Special Issue was very successful and received much attention from scholars. We are looking forward to receiving your contributions in the Second Edition.

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. Journal of Composites Science 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 1800 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.
