Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advent of high-speed digital computers and the development of new theories have significantly changed the professional approach of engineers. Many computational tools in the form of commercial or free-access codes based on these new theories have been developed by researchers and subsequently made available to professional engineers. Numerical resolution of many complex problems has become a routine task in engineering design offices. It would be useful to inform the engineering community at regular intervals on the latest developments of such numerical methods and tools.
This Special Issue focuses on the modelling and simulation of coupled problems in geomechanics concerning the general behaviour of geomaterials and geo-structures, where two or more physical phenomena simultaneously intervene: thermal, mechanical, chemical, hydraulic, osmotic, capillarity, phase-change, etc.
Papers are invited from those who work on the development of new numerical methods or on the application of existing tools and methods to analyse challenging cases.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.

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. Mathematics 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 2600 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.
