Innovative Topology Optimization Methods and Sustainable Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Topology optimization has emerged as a transformative approach in structural and mechanical design, enabling the development of lightweight, high-performance structures optimized for various constraints and applications. This computational method has significantly advanced in recent years, incorporating multi-physics simulations, reliability-based design considerations, and sustainability aspects. The integration of topology optimization with cutting-edge numerical techniques, such as finite element analysis (FEA) and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven methods, has broadened its applicability across engineering disciplines.

This Special Issue aims to gather novel contributions on the latest advancements in topology optimization methods and their applications in structural engineering, aerospace, biomechanics, and beyond. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, reliability-based topology optimization, manufacturing constraints, multi-material optimization, and sustainability-driven design strategies. We invite researchers and practitioners to submit original research articles, case studies, and review papers to contribute to this growing field.

If you are unable to make a contribution at this time, we encourage you to share this invitation with colleagues who may be interested. For any inquiries or requests for extensions, please feel free to contact us.

Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to your contributions.

Dr. Muayad Habashneh

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-anonymized 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.
