Mathematical Applications in Mechanical and Civil Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue invites you to present papers that solve problems of interest in the fields of mechanical and civil engineering, through the application of different mathematical methodologies.

The mathematical modeling, analysis, and optimization of mechanical and civil engineering systems are usually required to design, implement, or build safer, more efficient, and sustainable systems, machines, or structures; therefore, it is necessary to use, develop, and evaluate mathematical methods that provide us with new capacities.

The main objective is to propose and apply mathematical tools to the mathematical modeling, analysis, and optimization of mechanical and civil engineering systems that provide us with a better understanding of them. Any topic related to this objective is welcome, but a list of potential applications includes the following:

• Structural analysis and optimization;
• Structural dynamics simulation and analysis;
• Transport modeling and analysis;
• Acoustic and vibration modeling and analysis;
• Mathematical applications in soil mechanics;
• Computational fluid dynamics;
• Mathematical methods for condition monitoring analysis;
• Numerical simulation of heat transfer problems;
• Computational fracture mechanics;
• Artificial intelligence and machine learning in mechanical and civil engineering applications;
• Signal processing in mechanical and civil engineering systems.

We would like to encourage researchers to contribute their state-of-the-art research to this Special Issue and provide novel mathematical approaches to the mechanical and civil engineering community.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
