Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In addition to experimental research, materials engineering is now focusing on evaluating the behavior of various composite structures through the use of computational methods and the adoption of FE tools.
This Special Issue of Polymers targets critical findings, advances, and applications of the finite element method in all areas of materials engineering concerning polymer composites and nanocomposites. Papers related to the new developments in finite element analysis with respect to theoretical, computational, and modeling techniques and their applications in science and technology will be included.
Papers that cover a wide range of issues are expected, including (but not limited to) the following:
- Finite element analysis;
- Structural health monitoring;
- Composite connections;
- Deformation analysis;
- Geometric modeling.

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. Polymers 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 2700 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.
