CivilEng | New Section “Mathematical Models for Civil Engineering” Established

CivilEng (ISSN: 2673-4109) is pleased to announce the launch of a new Section—“Mathematical Models for Civil Engineering”. This Section aims to attract scholars to discussions of theoretical models and their potential utility in current (or even futuristic) applications. Papers should develop speculative investigations and physical interpretations, contributing to the enhancement of general knowledge in the field.

Papers submitted to “Mathematical Models for Civil Engineering” will address the following issues: the description of a phenomenon or a specific problem; the formulation of a mathematical model based on reasonable hypotheses; the treatment of equations; and the presentation of one or more sample examples, with numerical results displayed, interpreted, and commented on. Solutions will not necessarily be analytical, although this is welcome, but numerical methods may be used for solving the already formulated analytical model. Numerical or physical experiments are also highly appreciated when finalized to validate the mathematical model and not to substitute it.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Elasticity, plasticity, viscosity, damage, fracture, and fatigue;
Homogenization methods for materials and structures;
Wave propagation in solids and fluids;
Linear and nonlinear vibrations of structures;
Energy harvesting from structures and fluids;
Buckling and post-buckling of structures;
Active and passive control of structures;
Wind–structure, ground–structure, and fluid–structure interactions;
Geomechanics and geomaterial modeling;
Marine and coastal engineering modeling;
Transport system (e.g., cable-driven, rail system, etc.) modeling;
Infrastructure (e.g., bridges, pipelines, electrical lines, etc.) modeling;
Mathematical models for building physics;
Mathematical models for urban planning;
Risk and failure analyses of civil engineering systems.

We are currently recruiting Editorial Board Members (EBMs) and Guest Editors for this new Section. If you are an active researcher in this field and are passionate about publishing cutting-edge research, please contact us at civileng@mdpi.com.
