Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce this Special Issue of the Mathematics journal, entitled "Numerical Simulation and Analysis of Rock Mechanics Engineering Geology". With the increasing complexity of problems related to rock mechanics, from tunnel stability to earthquake-induced landslides, numerical simulations have become indispensable for understanding multi-scale, multi-physics phenomena. This Special Issue invites original research to advance our understanding of mathematical approaches and to address critical challenges in rock mechanics and engineering geology. Contributions should focus on innovative numerical methods—such as finite element analysis, discrete element modeling, or machine learning—applied to rock mass behavior, fracture dynamics, fluid–rock interactions, and geological hazard forecasting.

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. Mathematics 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.
