Special Issue UKACM 2025: Advances in Computational Mechanics: INVITATION ONLY

Note: This special issue is by invitation only.

Computational Mechanics has been at the forefront of scientific advances in engineering, mathematics, and applied sciences for the past decades. It continues to play a substantial role in technological progress and is a key driver of the ongoing revolution in the coming years. As it expands beyond traditional areas, it addresses next-generation societal and data-driven challenges, both within the United Kingdom (UK) and internationally.

The annual conference of the UK Association for Computational Mechanics (UKACM) is a well-established event in the conference series promoted by the UKACM. It is the main national conference focusing on recent developments in computational mechanics. This conference highlights cutting-edge research in computational mechanics and fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration with mathematics through high-calibre lectures on advanced computational methods. This special issue will feature selected papers from conference contributors on the following topics, published in the Engineering with Computers (EWCO) journal.

• Advances in computational methods

• Coupled problems

• Computational methods in solids

• Computational methods in fluids

• Failure and damage

• Material modelling

• Optimisation and machine learning for engineering design

Submission Instruction: Submit to EWCO online, after which papers go into a regular review process. Authors are encouraged to express their interest to contribute a special issue contribution at abstract submission for the conference. The EWCO submission site for the special issue will be open on the final day of the conference, April 25, 2025.
