Aims and scope

The research topics addressed by Advanced Modeling and Simulation in Engineering Sciences (AMOS) cover the vast domain of the advanced modeling and simulation of materials, processes and structures governed by the laws of mechanics. The emphasis is on advanced and innovative modeling approaches and numerical strategies. The main objective is to describe the actual physics of large mechanical systems with complicated geometries as accurately as possible using complex, highly nonlinear and coupled multiphysics and multiscale models, and then to carry out simulations with these complex models as rapidly as possible. In other words, this research revolves around efficient numerical modeling along with model verification and validation. Therefore, the corresponding papers deal with advanced modeling and simulation, efficient optimization, inverse analysis, data-driven computation and simulation-based control. These challenging issues require multidisciplinary efforts – particularly in modeling, numerical analysis and computer science – which are treated in this journal.

Special Issue on Innovations in Computational Mechanics and Machine Learning Driven Solutions
Día de Entrega: 2026-07-15

Deep learning tools in computational mechanics hold significant importance in current scientific and engineering research. The integration of both data-driven disciplines and computational mechanics is transforming the research landscape, influencing how we design, simulate, analyze and optimize complex systems. Merging knowledge coming from these two fields provides new insights for a deeper understanding of mechanics. These synergies appear in multiple industrial applications, from aerospace to material science and civil infrastructures, becoming a critical, and interdisciplinary, area of study.

Although one of the most active fields is the so-called physics-informed machine learning, the use of these techniques with statistical foundation has had a great impact in other studies such as to learn patterns in massive datasets and unveil correlations in the available data. The final goal is always to highlight new insights, which improve the scientific understanding of mechanics, while facilitating optimization through surrogates. Moreover, inverse modeling becomes at hand through reducing the computational cost.

This Collection focuses on the latest advances in machine learning and deep learning for computational mechanics applications. The goal is to showcase recent advances in the development and understanding of coupled machine learning and physical modeling for complex physical systems, along with their applications across industrial domains.
