Numerical Simulation and Experimental Studies of Dynamic Behaviour of Composite Materials

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to the forthcoming Special Issue “Numerical Simulation and Experimental Studies of Dynamic Behaviour of Composite Materials” in Materials.

At present, composite materials and smart structures exhibiting enhanced properties are used extensively in numerous engineering applications, such as aerospace, marine structures, civil construction, etc. As a prime step in understanding and analysis of the dynamics of smart composite materials, efficient and accurate mathematical models and numerical simulation tools, which are suitable for fast parametric studies at the development stage or for the implementation in real devices and systems, are required. Such simulation problems are often very complex and cannot be treated efficiently with simple analytical or conventional numerical tools, inspiring, therefore, the development of advanced computational methods dynamic problems. On the other hand, experimental studies focused on the understanding of the dynamics of composites with inhomogeneites are very important for the development of new materials, design, and control of composite structures.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue related to experimental and numerical studies of dynamic behavior of composite materials. We also especially welcome investigations related to acoustic/elastic metamaterials and the wave phenomena in inhomogeneous waveguides for the purposes of non-destructive testing and structural health monitoring.

Full papers, short communications, and reviews are all 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. Materials 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 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.
