Computational Particle Mechanics focuses on the modeling and simulation of systems involving particle mechanics and particle-based methods. The journal covers a wide range of topics from particles as a physical unit in various media to their role in particle-based numerical methods and welcomes applications across industries such as manufacturing, civil, environmental and marine engineering and biomedical engineering, among others.
Computational Particle Mechanics encourages articles that address solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, fluid-structure interaction problems and coupled multiphysics phenomena.
The journal aims to enhance communication among researchers in engineering and other applied sciences who use "particles'' in one form or another in their research.
The phrase "particle methods/mechanics'' has now come to encompass a variety of topics including:
1. Particles as a physical unit in granular media, particle-laden ?ows, plasmas, swarms, agents, etc.
2. Particles representing material phases in continua at the meso-, micro-and nano-scale.
3. Particles as a discretization unit in continua and discontinua in particle-based numerical methods such as Discrete Element Methods (DEM), Particle Finite Element Methods (PFEM), Material Point Methods (MPM), Molecular Dynamics (MD) and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), etc.
CPM focuses on the above topics and welcomes their use on a variety of applications, such as:
• Particle-laden and granular flow problems motivated by high-tech industrial processes such as those found in additive manufacturing, spray, deposition, active fluids, etc.,
• Manufacturing processes involving forming, cutting, compaction, etc.,
• Fluid-structure interaction problems accounting for free surface flow effects in civil, environmental and marine engineering, such as water jets, wave loads, ship hydrodynamics, debris flows, etc.,
• Coupled multiphysics phenomena involving solid, fluid, thermal, electromagnetic and optical systems, etc.,
• Soil and rock mechanics problems in geotechnical and geological engineering.
• Material design/functionalization using particles to modify base materials, etc.,
• Biomedical engineering, involving cell mechanics, molecular dynamics and scale-bridging.
• Impact situations resulting in fracture and fragmentation of materials and structures.
• Modeling and simulation of engineering systems involving particles.
• Industrial applications in manufacturing, civil, environmental and marine engineering and biomedical engineering, among others.
• Physics-inspired data-driven computational methods for solving complex problems in engineering and other applied sciences.
