Modelling, Simulation and Optimisation of Non-typical and Innovative Materials

Dear Colleagues,

This special issue is dedicated to the studies covering modeling, identification, numerical simulations, and optimisation of a wide array of innovative and non-standard materials, along with issues relevant to their manufacturing and processing.

Recognising that engineers from various fields may benefit from adopting a model applicable to a specific scientific area, this special issue is open to disseminating findings related to the modeling of materials utilised in mechanical engineering, metallurgy and industry, as well as in bioengineering, healthcare, medicine, and allied disciplines. The aim is to combine the recent scientific progress, presenting a collection of material modelling studies from various scientific and industrial areas, gathering inspiring ideas.

We invite researchers, engineers, and practitioners to submit original manuscripts that explore, but are not limited to the following areas:

• Advanced materials studies: smart materials and structures, ductile materials, metals and alloys, brittles and ceramics, polymers, biomaterials, nanomaterials, composites, granular media, etc.;
• Synthesis, fabrication, and improvement of innovative materials;
• Design aspects of innovative materials for various engineering applications;
• Modelling of non-typical engineering and bioengineering materials and simulation performance;
• Algorithms and methodologies for optimising materials behavior;
• Control strategies and adaptive control systems for reactive materials;
• Optimisation of production and processing of innovative materials;
• Cross-disciplinary adoption of material models in engineering fields;
• Novel experimental methods in both mechanical and structural analyses;
• Material models for additive manufacturing 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 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.
