Advances in Modelling and Simulation of Materials in Applied Sciences

Dear Colleagues,

Advances in materials science and engineering, as well as in computer science, have opened new avenues for physicists and engineers to explore novel material processing and material characterization methods on macro-, micro-, and nanoscales; thus, modelling and simulation have become indispensable tools in this regard, complementing experimental measurements.

This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring the recent advances in the modelling and simulation of materials within various applied sciences applications.

Specific methods, fields of applications, and materials include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Finite element method;
• Boundary element method;
• Finite difference method;
• Molecular dynamics;
• Multi-scale modelling;
• Coupled multiphysics problems;
• Ab initio modelling and simulations;
• Magnetohydrodynamics and hydrodynamics;
• Artificial intelligence and neural networks;
• Optimization methods;
• Acoustics, vibro-acoustics, sound, and vibration;
• Materials science and engineering;
• Material characterization and non-destructive testing;
• Manufacturing engineering;
• Mechanical engineering;
• Fluid mechanics;
• Biomechanics;
• Laser–matter interaction and laser material processing;
• Electrical and electronic engineering;
• Plasma physics;
• Metals and alloys;
• Composites;
• Polymers;
• 3D-printed materials;
• Metamaterials;
• Thin films;
• Semiconductors;
• Ceramics;
• Biomaterials.

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. 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.
