Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Among various computational methods applied in science, one can distinguish mesh-based or meshless numerical methods, which are commonly used to analyze problems in mechanical or civil engineering, bioengineering, and other fields. The mesh-based methods require discretization at the beginning, which can be challenging for the complicated geometry of the problem under consideration. For example, the most common mesh-based method is the finite element method, which is implemented in engineering software. On the other hand, one can apply the meshless methods, which avoid the process of geometry discretization, e.g., the method of fundamental solutions or the global radial basis function collocation method.
Artificial intelligence methods have recently shown great importance in many fields of science. They are used for classification, identification, optimization, clustering, and many other tasks. The crucial stage of artificial intelligence algorithms is a learning process, which can be supervised or unsupervised. One can also apply reinforced learning. Among various techniques, one can distinguish artificial neural networks or evolutionary algorithms, which are commonly used in mechanical, civil, and biomedical engineering.
This Special Issue of Applied Sciences is devoted to the application of all these computer methods in, but not limited to, mechanical, civil, and biomedical engineering.

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.
