Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the excavation of geotechnical engineering in deep strata and complex geological environments, a large number of engineering problems, such as dynamic failure of rock mass or soil, geothermal damage to rock mass, rockbust, and microseism, will strengthen the need for reliable numerical, mathematical, and engineering monitoring methods in analysis, evaluation, and design processes.
Deformations in rock and soil masses, disaster evolution, and underground structural damage can all be analyzed from the perspectives of mechanics and dynamics, and solved efficiently with the aid of advanced numerical computation and mathematical models, underscoring the universality and applicability of integrating cutting-edge mathematical theories and computational tools across diverse practical scenarios. Original research papers, reviews, and case studies related to basic theories and advanced engineering applications are welcome.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- New dynamical system models or constitutive relations capturing the nonlinear, time-dependent mechanical behavior of rock or soil, including new constitutive models, metaheuristic-based system modeling, and advanced numerical schemes;
- Dynamic and static analysis of coupled multi-physics processes in rock/soil systems, such as thermo–hydro–mechanical–chemical (THMC) interactions, stability and bifurcation analysis, and dynamic/static system responses;
- Application of nonlinear dynamics, stability theory, and computational methods to predict, control, and optimize geotechnical engineering performance under complex loading and environmental conditions.

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.
