Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Parameter estimation is a necessary component of any modeling activity, but it is particularly critical in computational mechanics, wherein constitutive properties and force dictate behavior from the mesoscales up to the continuum. These parameters can be measured, empirically deduced, or inferred/calculated, and the latter method is the focus of this Special Issue. In this summary, we invite contributions to our Special Issue titled "Computational Tools for Predicting Mechanical Properties of Materials". The broad scope of this Special Issue is designed to attract papers at the intersection between applied mathematics and computational mechanics. Topics of interest include data assimilation; inverse methods; optimization; verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification (VVUQ); design of experiments for large parametric sweeps; and numerical simulations conducted to infer material behavior.
This Special Issue aims to present the latest advances in computational tools for predicting material properties. We aim to construct a cohesive collection of at least 10 papers to ensure relevance and depth within the scope of the journal. Articles may include original research, reviews, case studies, and analyses that highlight the practical value of computational tools in materials 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. Materials 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.
