Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Computational mechanics is a discipline that combines principles from engineering mechanics and computer science to study and analyze the behavior of complex structures and materials. Finite element methods (FEM) serve as a fundamental tool in computational mechanics, providing a systematic approach to discretize and solve the governing equations of a physical system. The application of computational mechanics has revolutionized the design and analysis of structures, enabling engineers to predict and optimize the behavior of systems under different loading conditions. In addition, finite element analysis enables the accurate modeling of complex geometries, material properties, and boundary conditions, facilitating the study of structural integrity, mechanical response, and failure mechanisms. Hence, this Special Issue encourages submissions that apply the FEM in the various fields of computational mechanics, involving theoretical aspects and practical applications. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, numerical analysis, structural mechanics, structures dynamics, mechanics of materials, fluid mechanics, thermal sciences, computer-aided engineering, optimization, discretization, and mesh generation.

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.
