Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mechanics and structural analysis is a field dedicated to the study of deformations, stresses, vibrations, and thermal and material properties in general.
Mechanics and structural analysis is a very active research field, due to the search for challengers and innovative solutions. The study of the structural behavior and the characterization of new materials applied in different engineering fields and solutions bring to this field as always new and future tendencies.
The goal of this Special Issue ‘’New Trends in Mechanics and Structural Analysis’’ is to bring together the latest developments and challenges, contributing to the reinforcement of knowledge of many researchers around the world.
The spectrum of the contributions to this Special Issue will provide an exceptional understanding and a complete basis for future research in the field of mechanics and structural analysis.
It is intended that this Special Issue will contain contributions conducted in experimental, theoretical, or computational approaches and their interactions. One important feature will be interdisciplinary between the work produced by researchers from different fields: mechanical engineering, civil engineering, thermal engineering and material engineering.
This Special Issue aims to discuss all related aspects, giving a clear and complete overview of the fields applied in new solutions. New trends will be discussed along with all recent developments and solutions that are still under investigation.
Original articles in the following topics are welcome for submission. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Structural analysis;
- Thermal analysis;
- Structural vibration;
- Finite element modelling

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.
