Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Symmetry plays an important role in continuum mechanics as it may represent the crucial properties of material behavior as well as properties of solutions of corresponding boundary-value problems. For example, variational symmetries results in appearance of new conservative laws in continuum mechanics and mechanics of structures.
The presented special issue is devoted to recent advances in continuum mechanics related to symmetries analysis. Among the topics of the issue are the following: 1) symmetry-based analysis of constitutive equations of complex materials including generalized media; 2) invariant properties of solutions of boundary-value problems; 3) variational symmetries and relative conservation laws followed from the Noether theorem; 4) anisotropic and composite materials and structures including metamaterials; 5) application of the local material symmetry group to formulation of reduced constitutive relations; 6) chirality in continuum mechanics; 7) any topics used the concept of symmetry in continuum 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 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. Symmetry 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.
