The use of numerical methods has increased exponentially in the last few years, due to modern computers in the field of structural mechanics. Moreover, a wide range of numerical methods have been presented in the literature for solving such problems. Structural mechanics problems are dealt with using partial differential systems of equations that might be solved by following the two main classes of methods: Domain-decomposition methods or the so-called finite element methods and mesh-free methods where no decomposition is carried out. Both methodologies discretize a partial differential system into a set of algebraic equations that can be easily solved by computer implementation. The aim of the present Special Issue is to present a collection of recent works on these themes and a comparison of the novel advancements of both worlds in structural mechanics applications.History of engineering and technologybicsscbifurcationsbiostructurecohesive elementscomplex variablesconformal mappingcontinuation methodsdirection fieldelasticityelastodynamicsequivalent single-layer approachexperimental testfinite element methodfinite element modellingfinite elementsfirst-order shear deformation theoryfunctionally graded materialsFW-H equationsGalerkin weighted residual FEMgold nanowireheat conductionhigher-order shear deformation theoryjoint static strengthlaminated composite plateslimit pointsmarine propellermaximum-flow/minimum-cutmesh adaptationn/anoisenon-circular deep tunnelnon-uniform mechanical propertiesnonlocal elasticity theorynumerical modelingnumerical simulationpaddlefishpanel methodparametric investigationPolyodon spathulaporosity distributionsprincipal stressreinforced joint (collar and doubler plate)rostrumshear correction factorsilicon carbide nanowiresilver nanowirespace-timestress patternstailored fiber placementtensor lineHistory of engineering and technologyFantuzzi Nicholasedt1324212Fantuzzi NicholasothBOOK9910557735803321Mesh-Free and Finite Element-Based Methods for Structural Mechanics Applications3036053UNINA
