Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Computational nanomechanics and multiscale modeling have emerged as powerful tools for investigating the mechanical behavior of materials and structures at multiple length scales. This rapidly growing field utilizes advanced numerical methods, such as finite element analysis and molecular dynamics simulations, to study the size-dependent behavior of nano-engineered materials and small-scale structures for the design and optimization of micro- and nano-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS).
This Special Issue seeks to showcase innovative contributions to the field. We invite contributions from researchers in the broad field of nanomechanics and multiscale modeling, including, but not limited to, the following topics: static and dynamic models describing the mechanical behavior of one- and two-dimensional nanostructures; characterization of the mechanical behavior of nanoscale materials through computational/theoretical and experimental techniques; mechanics involved in the description of nanocomposite materials; mechanical behavior of nanostructures under the influence of coupling phenomena, such as thermomechanics, nanofluids, piezoelectricity, chemical effects, etc.; multiscale techniques and computational methods used in the modeling of nanostructures; and applications of computational/theoretical models, as well as experiments, of sensors and other applications operating at the nanoscale and beyond.
We welcome innovative contributions that focus on the recent advances in computational nanomechanics and multiscale modeling and their diverse applications. We believe that this Special Issue will provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to share their new findings and insights, as well as to foster collaborative efforts in advancing the field of computational nanomechanics and multiscale modeling.
We look forward to receiving your innovative contributions to this Special Issue.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
