Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The finite element method and computational techniques have been widely used in industrial processes for analyzing mechanical properties, heat transfer performance, electromagnetic properties, flow characteristics, etc. Today, the rapid development of industrial processing technology has placed greater demands on the finite element method and computational techniques. Therefore, it is necessary to organize a Special Issue to promote the application of the finite element method and computational techniques in industrial processes.

This Special Issue, “Finite Element Method and Computational Techniques for Industrial Processes”, seeks high-quality works focusing on the latest advances regarding modeling, simulation, optimization, and maintenance in industrial processes. The topics within the scope of the issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Application of the finite element method and computational techniques in  mechanical industrial processes;
  • Application of the finite element method and computational techniques in electric power industrial processes;
  • Application of the finite element method and computational techniques in metallurgical industrial processes;
  • Application of the finite element method and computational techniques in mining industrial processes;
  • Application of the finite element method and computational techniques in automobile industrial processes.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
