The transition towards Industry 5.0 requires a paradigm shift centered on sustainability, resilience, and human-machine interaction, supported by the technological architectures of Industry 4.0. This evolution introduces complex engineering challenges that cannot be fully resolved using conventional approaches. This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge contributions that integrate advanced computational modeling, metaheuristic algorithms, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven methods to design, validate, and optimize complex mechanical systems and industrial processes. We are particularly interested in research demonstrating how numerical simulation and optimization algorithms can enhance the sustainability of production systems, the efficiency of Human Robot Collaboration (HRC), predictive maintenance, and complex logistics networks. The ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between theoretical computational modeling and real-world industrial applications.
Suggested themes include:
· Metaheuristic algorithms for industrial optimization
· Multiphysics modeling for green design
· Computational models for HRC
· Integration of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) with numerical simulation
· Digital Twins for predictive maintenance
· AI application in industrial systems
