Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit your latest research concerning the finite element method (FEM) to the Special Issue entitled ‘Advanced Finite elements: Theory and applications in solid mechanics and structures’. The FEM has been around for more than 70 years, and to date is still recognized as one of the most important numerical techniques for simulating solids and structures. Although the FEM has made great progress in the past decades, with the continuous exploration of science and technology, new challenging problems continue to emerge, and great efforts are still being devoted to developments of new principles, algorithms, schemes, and element models in order to improve the accuracy, efficiency, and robustness of the FEM. The purpose of the Special Issue is to disseminate the latest achievements to researchers and engineers in communities related to computation mechanics and computation engineering.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Nonlinear finite element;
- Smoothed finite element;
- Hybrid/mixed finite element;
- Unsymmetric finite element;
- Non-conforming finite element;
- Extended finite element;
- H-/p- finite element;
- Discontinuous Galerkin finite element;
- FEM in multi-physical and multi-scale analysis;
- FEM in aerospace/marine/civil/geological/biological engineering.

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.
