Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue "Nonlinear and Evolutionary Optimization in Materials and Engineering" delves into the intricate fusion of evolutionary algorithms in the realm of materials science and engineering. This Special Issue aims to provide an in-depth examination of the symbiotic relationship between evolutionary optimization techniques and the optimization challenges inherent in material properties, processing methodologies, and engineering structures. Artificial evolutionary methods such as genetic algorithms and other population-based nonlinear optimization techniques, which explore large, complex search spaces very efficiently, can be applied to the identification and optimization of novel materials more rapidly than via physical experiments alone. Machine learning models can augment experimental measurements of material fitness to accelerate the identification of useful and novel materials in vast material compositions or property spaces.
This Special Issue welcomes novel research and applications where evolutionary algorithms, nonlinear optimization, artificial intelligence, and machine learning are employed to optimize material properties, manufacturing processes, and engineering designs. All the works involved in the application of evolutionary algorithms, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to material science and engineering are welcome.

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. 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.
