Finite Element Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

Since the early developments in the 1960s and 1970s, carried out by pioneers like R.W. Clough at the UC Berkeley, J.H. Argyris at the University of Stuttgart, and O.C. Zienkiewicz at the University of Swansea, the use of the Finite Element Method (FEM) has been continuously growing, becoming the leading method in the numerical simulation of mathematical, science and engineering problems.

Nowadays, the FEM is applied to a large variety of mathematical and multi-physics and multi-scale science and engineering problems, including computational solid mechanics, computational fluid dynamics, coupled thermomechanical problems, coupled electromechanical problems, or coupled electromagnetics problems.

This special issue on “Finite Element Analysis” intends to collect selected review works written by well-known researchers in the field, as well as current developments in the application of the FEM to mathematical and multi-physics multi-scale physical problems in engineering and science.

Topics addressed in this special issue include, but are not limited to:

• Finite Element Analysis in Mathematics
• Finite Element Analysis of Multi-physics and Multi-scale physical problems in engineering and science
• Stabilization methods in the Finite Element Analysis of Computational Solid Mechanics and Computational Fluid Dynamics
• Finite Element Analysis in the numerical simulation of material forming processes

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.
