Computational mechanics deals with the use of compu-
tational methods in engineering to study physical phe-
nomena governed by the principles of mechanics. It has
got huge potential for the future growth and applications
by incorporating new models of physical and biological
systems based on quantum, molecular, biomechanics, and
so on. Te computational mechanics spans to several areas
of mechanics, mathematics, computer science, and many
others. Over the years, it has made a signifcant contribution
in the design and development of new process and products
due to the availability of efective computational resources.
Nowadays, the computational methods are appliedinall areas
of engineering and sciences.
Tis special issue covers the papers from various topics
including thermal, fuid, solid mechanics, vibration, and
vehicle dynamics. In totality, these papers provide the reader
with an overall picture of the computational mechanics along
with engineering and industrial applications.
In this special issue, the editors received 38 manuscripts
on various topics of computational mechanics. Afer peer
review and based on the comments from reviewers, only 16
manuscripts have been accepted for publication.
Acknowledgment
Editors would like to express their sincere gratitude to the
authors who have contributed to this special issue. Tey hope
that this special issue wouldprovide the readers withthe latest
trends in computational mechanics.
