Engineering and Computational Mechanics: A Year in Review 2023
2023
A Year in Review
Engineering and Computational Mechanics
A lot of great things can happen in a year. For example, Emerald's acquisition of the ICE Publishing portfolio as part of our dynamic partnership, bringing new opportunities and exciting prospects for advancing research in the field of civil and environmental engineering. Below is Engineering and Computational Mechanics' achievements in the past year.
About the journal
Engineering and Computational Mechanics publishes original research papers, briefing articles, book reviews, state-of-the-art reviews and editorials on numerical and computational analysis of applied mechanics.
Earlier this year, ENCM welcomed it's new Editor-in-Chief, Professor Benedict Rogers.

Calls for papers
Data-driven Mechanics - submissions close: 8th July 2024
If you are interested in submitting your work for a Themed Issue, please register with https://ice-review.rivervalley.io/ and then navigate to the journal that you wish to submit to. Choose article type "Themed Issue" and then the specific name from the drop-down menu on screen. Author guidelines must be strictly followed.
Why submit to Engineering and Computational Mechanics?
Mechanics has long played a crucial role in engineering, and with the need to treat ever more complex systems and constructions, its role is arguably more important than ever. From the construction of new high-speed rail lines in the UK, to the upgrade of century old water systems in India, to the design of subsea tunnels in Hong Kong, a diverse range of large-scale engineering projects are being executed across the world, stimulating the demand for effective and reliable analysis and design methods.
Engineering and Computational Mechanics publishes refereed papers and other short contributions on fundamental applied mechanics in civil engineering. Practically oriented papers are particularly welcome. Papers describing analytical or computational methods, including source code when appropriate, are also very welcome. Papers may cover solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, the behaviour of granular materials, structural, stress and strain analysis, and the dynamics of structures and fluid/structure interactions. Papers may also describe the use of mechanics in combination with optimisation algorithms to identify efficient designs. Contributions dealing with problems at the interfaces between geotechnical engineering, structural engineering and fluid mechanics are also welcome, though papers specifically covering materials science or soil and rock behaviour will not normally be included, unless they have a significant mechanics component.
Aiding countries and organisations in responsibly meeting the engineering needs of their populations and improving their societies through this, is one of the key ideals of the Institution of Civil Engineers. One of the ways this function is performed is by the gathering and distribution of knowledge on an international level through its journals. In line with this, Engineering and Computational Mechanics is free to submit to, with an option for authors to make their work open access. Additional support is given for authors from many developing countries, or to those who are ICE members.
