Advances in Computational and Applied Mechanics (SACAM)

Dear Colleagues,

Computational and applied mechanics play a pivotal role in solving complex engineering and scientific problems by integrating mathematical modeling, numerical simulations, and experimental validation. The rapid evolution of computational methods has enabled significant advancements in understanding fluid flow, structural behavior, heat and mass transfer, and multi-physics interactions across various disciplines. These advancements have led to innovations in diverse fields such as aerospace, biomedical engineering, materials science, energy systems, and nanotechnology.

This Special Issue will provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to present cutting-edge developments in computational and applied mechanics, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge dissemination. By addressing emerging challenges and exploring novel methodologies, this Special Issue will contribute to the continuous improvement of computational techniques and their real-world applications.

The primary objectives of this Special Issue are as follows:

1. Showcase Recent Advances: Present state-of-the-art research in computational and applied mechanics, including innovative mathematical models, numerical methods, and computational tools;
2. Bridge Theory and Application: Promote studies that not only develop theoretical models but also validate them through experiments or real-world applications;
3. Explore Multi-Disciplinary Approaches: Encourage contributions that integrate mechanics with artificial intelligence, optimization techniques, machine learning, and data-driven models;
4. Address Emerging Challenges: Investigate new computational techniques to tackle complex problems in fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, heat transfer, biomechanics, and material science;
5. Support Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Solutions: Highlight research that contributes to sustainable energy, efficient material usage, and environmentally friendly engineering solutions;
6. Disseminate High-Quality Research: Provide a valuable resource for researchers, industry professionals, and academicians seeking the latest developments in computational and applied mechanics.

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. Mathematical and Computational Applications 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 1600 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.
