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 & technologybicsscdirection fieldtensor lineprincipal stresstailored fiber placementheat conductionfinite elementsspace-timeelastodynamicsmesh adaptationnon-circular deep tunnelcomplex variablesconformal mappingelasticitynumerical simulationnumerical modelingjoint static strengthfinite element methodparametric investigationreinforced joint (collar and doubler plate)nonlocal elasticity theoryGalerkin weighted residual FEMsilicon carbide nanowiresilver nanowiregold nanowirebiostructurerostrumpaddlefishPolyodon spathulamaximum-flow/minimum-cutstress patternsfinite element modellinglaminated composite platesnon-uniform mechanical propertiespanel methodmarine propellernoiseFW-H equationsexperimental testcontinuation methodsbifurcationslimit pointscohesive elementsfunctionally graded materialsporosity distributionsfirst-order shear deformation theoryshear correction factorhigher-order shear deformation theoryequivalent single-layer approachHistory of engineering & technologyFantuzzi Nicholasedt1324212Fantuzzi NicholasothBOOK9910557735803321Mesh-Free and Finite Element-Based Methods for Structural Mechanics Applications3036053UNINA
