Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The finite element method has become a fundamental tool for many engineering disciplines, providing valuable simulation results to support the design process. The accuracy of these results has allowed researchers to streamline conceptual iterations in order to create a final product and has introduced new optimization possibilities.
Even today, research on this topic is highly relevant. Since the first applications, many scientific contributions have aimed to broaden the applications of the finite element method to encompass structural engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanics of materials, fracture mechanics, thermo-fluid mechanics, chemical engineering, electro-magnetism, manufacturing processes, and more recently, digital twins.
Therefore, this Special Issue aims to gather innovative research on the formulation of finite element solutions for specific problems, the derivation of custom approaches and in-house software, the definition of specific multi-physical workflows, and optimized approaches. Papers discussing algorithms for the numerical efficiency of the analysis and post-processing procedures are also welcome.
Dr. Valerio Belardi

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
