Submission Deadline: 31 October 2024 Submit to Special Issue
This special issue focuses on the optimization design and simulation of advanced polymer/metal matrix composites at various length scales, ranging from nano/molecular to full product/structure level. The research targets mechanical issues and performance of advanced composites and structures, with emphasis on the application and development of novel numerical methods and simulation tools, such as molecule dynamics, phase field method, peridynamics, reduced-order-homogenization method and advanced finite element methods, etc. The key areas of interest include all aspects related to design, validation, characterization and testing of composite materials, including but not limited to nanocomposites, structural and functional composites, novel composite material concepts, and also green and bio-based composites.
