Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Structural engineering and mathematics have always been closely intertwined. Structural engineering deals with mechanics, providing adequate, complex computational models, while mathematics provides computational solution algorithms. Structural analysis is therefore one of the most important and demanding engineering processes, as it combines several processes (proper structural computational model selection, the implementation of mathematical methods, the critical evaluation of the results with the possible modification or upgrade of the computational model and recalculation, and the execution of details following the obtained results), which, although carried out separately, lead to reliable and safe solutions as a whole. The natural synergy between mathematics and mechanics thus provides a powerful tool in computational structural mechanics, allowing engineers to design structures reliably without the need for experiments.
The rapid advancements in computational mechanics in recent decades (both in mathematical models and computational algorithms) have significantly enhanced knowledge through various numerical methods (such as finite volume, finite element, boundary element, and meshless methods) and simulations for various problems in the fields of computational mechanics and engineering. This progress, driven by the simultaneous development of computer technology, has enabled the development of new models and approaches that are more comprehensive, complex (including more information and detail), fast (i.e., computationally more efficient), robust, and accurate.
Nevertheless, there is still room for improvement. Additionally, recent natural disasters have reinforced the need for advanced and thorough constitutive modeling and structural analyses.
Thus, we invite articles for submission to this Special Issue titled “Computational Mechanics and Applied Mathematics, 2nd Edition”. The scope of this Special Issue encompasses research areas related to the application of new mathematical models, methods, or techniques in computational engineering mechanics, including the analytical, semi-numerical, and numerical-based computational modeling and analysis of structural engineering problems.

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.
