Computational mechanics is an integral and major subject of research in many
fields of science and engineering, design and manufacturing. Major
established industries such as the automobile, aerospace, atmospheric
sciences, chemical, pharmaceutical, petroleum, electronics and
communications, as well as emerging industries such as biotechnology,
nanotechnology, and information technology rely on computational
mechanics-based capabilities to model and numerically simulate complex
systems for the analysis, design, and manufacturing of high-technology
products. Rapid advances in computer architecture, hardware, software
technology and tools, and numerical and non-numerical algorithms, are making
significant contributions to the development of computational models and
methods to model materials and analyze and design complex engineering
systems.

The main aim of the Journal is to provide a unique interdisciplinary forum
to publish papers dealing with mathematical models and computational methods
and algorithms for the numerical simulation of natural processes arising in
applied science and mechanics.

Special emphasis will be placed on both upstream and applied research and on
the transfer of technology to the industry in the areas of fluid mechanics,
heat transfer, solid and structural mechanics in the disciplines of
aerospace, chemical, civil, mechanical, electrical engineering, and
computational biology, chemistry, and materials science. Papers dealing with
novel computational methods to model current and emerging technologies in
microelectromechanical systems, electromagnetics, biotechnology,
nanotechnology, and information technology are encouraged.

Through faster dissemination, this Journal offers scope for academics,
researchers, and engineering professionals to present their research and
development works that have potential for applications in several
disciplines of engineering.

The journal publishes manuscripts dealing primarily with the computational
science and mechanics aspects of natural phenomena (for example,
mathematical modeling of materials and systems, novel applications, and
numerical simulations). Contributions may range from new methods to novel
applications of existing methods to gain understanding of the material
and/or structural behavior of new and advanced systems. The following is a
nonexhaustive list of topics considered to be within the scope of CMES.

Computational Science and Engineering: Finite element method, boundary
element method, finite difference method, meshless techniques, automated and
adaptive analysis methods and engineering design and optimization.
Industrial Applications: Aerospace, biological, chemical, civil, mechanical,
materials science, electrical engineering, and manufacturing processes.

Computational Processes: Algorithms, software technology and tools, high
performance computing and parallel and distributed computing, artificial
intelligence, scientific visualization and virtual reality - all in the
context of simulation of natural and physical phenomena.
