COMPUTERS & STRUCTURES

Computers & Structures publishes advances in the development and use of computational methods for the solution of problems in engineering and the sciences. The range of appropriate contributions is wide, and includes papers on establishing appropriate mathematical models and their numerical solution in all areas of mechanics. The journal also includes articles that present a substantial review of a field in the topics of the journal.With the modern use of computers and numerical methods to model and solve problems, the traditional boundaries between the fields of solid/structural mechanics and fluid mechanics hardly exist any longer, and multiphysics problems are solved that involve all aspects of mechanics. The word 'structures' must therefore now be interpreted in a broad sense including solids, fluids and multiphysics.Computers & Structures publishes papers in these fields that either present novel and quite general techniques, or offer substantial new insights into important methods. If a paper presents novel techniques, some comparison with known advanced methods is necessary. If a paper is to provide substantial new insights into advanced methods, then this can be achieved by strong numerical experiments, some mathematical analysis, and/or comparisons with well-designed physical test data. In either case, the paper must contribute to advancing the state of the art.The focus of Computers & Structures is on having an impact on the practice of simulations in mechanics as found in many industries and research endeavours, including the fields of engineering, such as civil and environmental, mechanical, biomechanical, automotive, aeronautical, and ocean engineering, and including the various fields of the sciences.In these areas, papers are sought on the automatic solution of mathematical models of 'structures' in the broadest sense, possibly including phenomena of multiphysics, multiscale, and uncertainties. Also, papers presenting algorithms for optimization and the simulation of complete life cycles of systems are sought.Established in 1971, and with online submission and review launched in 2006, Computers & Structures is indispensable for researchers and practitioners in academic, governmental and industrial communities.Related Conferences: can be accessed via the links on the right menu bar, under Related websites.

计算机与结构出版在发展和使用计算方法解决工程和科学问题方面的进展。适当的贡献范围是广泛的，包括建立适当的数学模型及其数值解在所有力学领域的论文。该期刊还包括文章，提出了一个领域的实质性审查的主题的期刊。随着现代计算机和数值方法的应用，固体/结构力学和流体力学领域之间的传统边界已经不复存在，涉及力学各方面的多物理问题得到了解决。因此，“结构”一词现在必须从广义上解释，包括固体、流体和多物理。计算机与结构出版在这些领域的论文，要么提出新颖和相当普遍的技术，要么提供重要方法的实质性的新见解。如果一篇论文提出了新的技术，就有必要与已知的先进方法进行比较。如果一篇论文要对先进的方法提供实质性的新见解，那么这可以通过强大的数值实验、一些数学分析和/或与精心设计的物理测试数据进行比较来实现。在这两种情况下，论文都必须有助于提高技术水平。计算机与结构的重点是对实践产生影响的力学模拟,发现在许多行业和研究努力,包括领域的工程,如土木与环境、机械、生物力学、汽车、航空、海洋工程，包括科学的各个领域。在这些领域，论文寻求的是最广义的“结构”数学模型的自动求解，可能包括多物理、多尺度和不确定性的现象。此外，论文提出了系统的优化算法和完整生命周期的仿真。成立于1971年，并与在线提交和审查启动于2006年，计算机和结构是必不可少的研究人员和从业人员在学术，政府和工业社区。相关会议：可通过相关网站右侧菜单栏的链接访问。
