Summary

The mechanical behavior of advanced materials, especially under extreme conditions, presents significant challenges in terms of prediction and optimization. As materials evolve to meet the demands of modern technology, from aerospace to biomedical applications, understanding and accurately simulating their mechanical properties become crucial.


This special issue focuses on the computational modeling of the mechanical behavior of advanced materials, with an emphasis on the following areas:

· Multi-physical field coupling effects on mechanical properties (e.g., thermal, mechanical, and electromagnetic interactions).

· Multi-scale modeling techniques, bridging atomic, microstructural, and macroscopic scales.

· Advanced methods for simulating deformation, damage, fracture, and failure in complex materials.

· High-performance computational techniques and algorithms for solving mechanical problems in advanced materials.

· Machine learning and data-driven approaches for enhancing the accuracy of mechanical behavior predictions.


We invite original research articles and comprehensive review papers that present new methodologies, models, and applications aimed at understanding and predicting the mechanical behavior of advanced materials. Through this special issue, we aim to contribute to the development of innovative computational tools for the analysis and design of advanced materials in engineering practice.


We look forward to your valuable contributions to this dynamic field!

    Abstract Embedding optical fiber sensors into composite materials offers the advantage of real-time structural monitoring. However, there is an order-of-magnitude difference in diameter between optical fibers and reinforcing fibers, and the detailed mechanism of how embedded optical fibers affect the micromechanical behavior and damage failure processes within composite materials remains unclear. This paper presents a micromechanical simulation analysis of composite materials embedded with optical fibers. By constructing representative volume elements (RVEs) with randomly distributed reinforcing fibers, the optical fiber, the matrix, and the interface phase, the micromechanical behavior and damage evolution under transverse tensile and compressive… More >
