Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, simulation techniques and numerical methods have been rapidly evolving in order to apply increasingly complex models and to meet the growing requirements of engineering applications. Also, newly developed analytical solutions have covered a wider range of scientific problems and are benchmark solutions for numerical simulations.
This Special Issue of Materials is devoted to analytical and computational methods in the modelling of material characteristics. Among others, the following topics are the main fields of interest of this Issue: linear and non-linear behavior elasticity and plasticity models; materials with anomalous characteristics; metamaterials; auxetic cellular materials; smart materials; porous materials; functionally graded materials, dynamics and fatigue of materials; the topological optimization of structures; heat transfer in materials and structures; as well as other topics relating to computational methods in the engineering and modelling of materials.
We invite you to submit research articles concerning the latest research work in these areas, with an emphasis on applications in all areas of materials and mechanics engineering.
Prof. Dr. Tomasz Strek
Guest Editor
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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
