Experimental Mechanics

Experimental Mechanics is the field that studies material and structural behavior through physical testing and measurement. The work involves designing experiments, collecting real-world data, and
analyzing measured responses to understand mechanical phenomena. Computational Mechanics uses mathematical models and computer simulations to predict mechanical behavior. Instead of physical testing, researchers develop algorithms and use software tools like finite element analysis (FEA) to solve complex equations that describe how structures will behave under different conditions.

The key distinction is that experimental mechanics deals with actual physical testing and measurement, while computational mechanics uses mathematical modeling and computer simulation to predict behavior. They're complementary approaches - experimental results often validate computational models, while computational tools help design better experiments and interpret experimental data. Many modern mechanical engineering problems require both approaches working together.

With that in mind River Publishers have started an Experimental Mechanics track in the European Journal of Computational Mechanics and we welcome papers that explore the intersection between the topics.

Members of the Society of Experimental Mechanics (SEM) will be given a 50% discount on the Article

ECCOMAS-MSF 2025: Multi-scale modeling & computations in solid & fluid mechanics

Guest Editors: Adnan IBRAHIMBEGOVIC  (UT Compiègne – Alliance Sorbonne Univ., France) and Mijo NIKOLIĆ (FGAG, University of Split, Croatia)

Deadlines: Submissions by 1^st October 2025; issue expected to publish in early 2026

Fees: This is an Open Access journal and an article processing fee of EUR 900 is payable by the author or research funder. Fees are due after acceptance and before publication.

Scope: This issue will explore the cutting-edge field of multi-scale modeling and computation, where phenomena occurring at vastly different scales in space and time must be understood and integrated to solve today's most complex engineering challenges. From the microscopic behavior of materials to the macroscopic performance of entire structures, this interdisciplinary approach is revolutionizing how we design and analyze everything from aircraft to buildings to advanced materials.

The papers are expected to be extended versions of papers presented at ECCOMAS MSF 2025 (https://ceacm.net/msf-2025/). Contributions are welcome from

• Graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, and materials science
• Practicing engineers working with complex multi-physics systems
• Computational scientists developing numerical methods for multi-scale problems
• Academic and industry professionals seeking to understand cross-disciplinary approaches

Papers are encouraged on the following themes:

• The Multi-Scale Challenge: Modern engineering problems rarely exist at a single scale. Understanding how molecular-level properties affect structural performance, or how local fluid dynamics influence global flow patterns, requires sophisticated mathematical and computational tools that can connect these different scales seamlessly.
• Breaking Down Disciplinary Barriers: Traditionally separate fields—fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, materials science, and applied mathematics—are converging around multi-scale approaches. This special issue welcomes contributions that demonstrate how cross-pollination between these disciplines leads to more robust solutions and innovative methodologies.
• From Theory to Practice: Papers are encouraged that bridge the gap between advanced mathematical theory and real-world engineering applications, showing how abstract concepts like homogenization and asymptotic analysis translate into practical computational methods for complex systems.
• Real-World Case Studies: Drawing from aerospace, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, and materials science, we encourage demonstrations of how multi-scale approaches solve genuine industrial challenges.
