This Special Issue focuses on computational methods, algorithms, and simulation frameworks dedicated to modelling, analysis, and optimization of advanced materials with multiphysics, multiscale, and multifunctional characteristics. It will foster cross-disciplinary exchange between novel modelling techniques, accelerated numerical algorithms, and innovative integration of physics-based and data-driven methods for computational materials science.
Topics of Interest include (but are not limited to):
· Computational multiphysics modelling of materials (e.g., mechanical–thermal–electrical–chemical coupling).
· Multiscale computational approaches for materials analysis (FE², concurrent/embedded methods, homogenization schemes).
· Simulation-driven design of multifunctional and architected materials.
· Isogeometric, meshfree, and extended FEM/BEM methods applied to computational materials problems.
· Machine learning and reduced-order models for accelerated computational materials simulations.
· Computational multiphysics–topology optimization for multifunctional material systems.
· Phase-field and molecular dynamics integrated with continuum-scale computational materials models.
· Numerical modelling of damage, fracture, fatigue, and failure in advanced materials.
