Applied Mathematics and Computer Methods in Materials, Mechanics and Engineering

This Special Issue of Materials is devoted to analytical and computational methods in material and mechanical engineering. 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; porous materials; functionally graded materials, fatigue of materials; the topological optimization of structures; heat transfer in materials and structures; as well as other topics related to computational methods in materials, mechanics, and engineering.     

We invite you to submit research articles on the latest research work in these areas, with an emphasis on applications in all areas of materials and mechanics engineering.

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.
