Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Numerical and qualitative methods are essential parts of solid mechanics. These methods are necessary for understanding the general features of well-established and new constitutive equations, as well as for obtaining results ready for engineering applications. However, the results derived by qualitative methods can be useful for developing finite element methods such as the generalized finite element method. Special numerical methods are important for design problems in the mechanics of structures and processes.
This Special Issue focuses on the following:
- Asymptotic methods in solid mechanics;
- Perturbation techniques in solid mechanics;
- Constitutive modeling for engineering materials;
- Design of structures using continuum mechanics methods;
- Design of processes using continuum mechanics methods;
- Development of numerical techniques for solving boundary value problems in solid mechanics.
Manuscripts reporting results using commercial software packages are not encouraged.

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.
