Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Structural mechanics is an important field of engineering. The primary aim of structural mechanics is to ensure that structures are safe and durable enough to prevent catastrophic situations, which can lead to a loss of lives, environmental pollution, and financial losses. Depending on the use of the structure and the conditions that it is subjected to, special treatments are required during analysis. Specifically, marine structures are subjected to harsh environmental conditions due to the marine environment, which is associated with damage mechanisms such as fatigue and corrosion. This Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Ships and Marine Structures—Edition II”, welcomes the submission of research whose scope includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Structural analysis of ship structures;
- Structural analysis of offshore renewable energy devices;
- Structural analysis of offshore platforms;
- Structural analysis of naval vessels;
- Structural analysis of pipelines and subsea systems;
- Risk- and reliability-based approaches applied to marine structures;
- Structural health monitoring of marine structures;
- Corrosion;
- Ice–structure interactions;
- Collision mechanics;
- Inspection and repair of marine structures;
- Fatigue and fracture;
- Marine composites;
- The application of machine learning and digital twins for ships and offshore structures.
The Special Issue aims to compile numerical, experimental, and analytical studies related to research on “Advances in Ships and Marine Structures”.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering 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.
