Topics of interest for this Special Issue and addressed in COMPLAS 2023 include the following:

• Advanced discretization techniques;
• Advanced material models and computational material design;
• Atomistic, nano and micro-mechanics of materials;
• Big data analytics techniques;
• Contact mechanics;
• Damage, fracture, fatigue and failure mechanics;
• Data-driven modeling in science and engineering;
• Data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence;
• High-performance computing;
• Industrial applications in science and engineering;
• Inverse problems, optimization and design;
• Manufacturing and material forming processes;
• Model reduction and real-time computing techniques;
• Multi-body and nonlinear dynamics;
• Multi-scale material models and multi-physics problems;
• Numerical methods in science and engineering.

Participants of COMPLAS 2023 are encouraged to submit their contributions to this Special Issue of the open access journal Metals.

A special 30% discount on the article-processing charge (APC) has been offered by Metals to the participants of COMPLAS 2023 who are willing to publish their full-length paper in this Special Issue.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
