Modern Numerical and Experimental Methods for Mechanics of Material

Dear Colleagues,

As you are expert in the field of mechanics, we bring to your attention the opportunity to publish an article in a Special Issue of the journal Materials, which will be devoted to the field of modern numerical and experimental methods in the mechanics of materials. The Special Issue will be oriented towards the numerical methods of mechanics; in particular, finite element method, shell theory, plasticity, continuum mechanics, metamaterials, and nanostructures. The scope of interest will include rheological models, thermo-mechanical constitutive response of materials, new mechanics concepts or new material mechanisms, mechanics of contact, adhesion and friction as well as application of computational and experimental methods in practice. From the experimental mechanics, we prefer to publish papers dealing with classical strain-gage measurements, contactless optical methods, measurement of residual stresses and so on.

We would be delighted if you would kindly send us an article for this Special Issue, or if you would inform your colleagues working in this field about this Special Issue.

Prof. Dr. Jozef Bocko
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 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.
