Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue follows on from the first Special Issue, entitled “Early Career Scientists’ (ECS) Contributions to Applied Mechanics” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/applmech/special_issues/647RB138V7). This Special Issue of Applied Mechanics aims to provide an opportunity for early career scientists to share their valuable results with the scientific community. Manuscripts on all topics related to applied mechanics can be submitted. The subjects that could be addressed include, but are not limited to:

• Mechanics of solids;
• Static and dynamic of structures;
• Materials engineering;
• Mathematical modelling of structures and solids;
• Computer methods in engineering;
• Applications to civil engineering structures;
• Mechanical and aerospace structures;
• Fluid mechanics;
• Thermodynamics of materials;
• Biomechanics.

This Special Issue accepts manuscripts in the form of original research articles or reviews where the first author is an ECS (a student, a PhD candidate, or a post-doctoral researcher who received their PhD within the past 5 years).

We will provide additional discounts on the APC (article processing charge) upon request, as well as additional guidance on how to address reviewers’ comments, while the publication process will be as transparent and efficient as possible. The submissions will be assessed by at least two referees, as rigorously as any other paper submitted to Applied Mechanics.

Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Mechanics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
