These problems require the development of numerical methods to get approximate but accurate solutions. The minite element method (FEM) represents one of the most typical methodologies that can be used to achieve this aim, due to its simple implementation, easy adaptability, and very good accuracy. For these reasons, the FEM is a widespread technique which is employed in many engineering fields, such as civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering. The large-scale deployment of powerful computers and the consequent recent improvement of the computational resources have provided the tools to develop numerical approaches that are able to solve more complex structural systems characterized by peculiar mechanical configurations. Laminated or multi-phase composites, structures made of innovative materials, and nanostructures are just some examples of applications that are commonly and accurately solved by the FEM. Analogously, the same numerical approaches can be employed to validate the results of experimental tests. The main aim of this Special Issue is to collect numerical investigations focused on the use of the finite element method 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $abeam element 610 $aQuasi-3D 610 $astatic bending 610 $afunctionally graded beam 610 $aMonte Carlo method 610 $acoalbed methane 610 $astochastic fracture network 610 $afracture geometric parameters 610 $adual-porosity and dual-permeability media 610 $afinite element method 610 $athree-phase composite materials 610 $aFinite Element modeling 610 $asandwich plates 610 $azig-zag theory 610 $acarbon nanotubes 610 $afree vibrations 610 $asoda-lime glass 610 $acohesive zone model 610 $arate-dependent 610 $aimpact loading 610 $afinite element 610 $aFGM 610 $aplate 610 $amaterial-oriented shape functions 610 $aNURBS 610 $aFinite elements 610 $afinite bending 610 $a3D elasticity 610 $aEulerian slenderness 610 $acompactness index 610 $aSearle parameter 610 $aElastica 610 $apultruded beams 610 $aeffective stiffness matrix 610 $aFRP 610 $ahollow circular beams 610 $arigid finite element method 610 $acomposite 610 $asteel-polymer concrete 610 $amachine tool 610 $amultibody system 610 $aorthotropic failure criteria 610 $aimplementation 610 $aplasticity 610 $amasonry 610 $ageometric nonlinearity 610 $aFEM 610 $athermoelasticity 610 $abowing 610 $atransient heat flux 610 $aacoustic black holes 610 $aacoustic-oriented design 610 $aadditive manufacturing 610 $avibroacoustics 610 $amaterial parameter identification 610 $amodel order reduction 610 $areinforced concrete 610 $afinite element analysis 610 $acrack band 610 $astrain localization 610 $apost-peak softening 610 $aviscoplastic regularization 610 $aconvergence 610 $amesh sensitivity 610 $abond-slip 610 $aflexural behavior 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aTarantino$b Angelo Marcello$4edt$0875244 702 $aMajorana$b Carmelo$4edt 702 $aLuciano$b Raimondo$4edt 702 $aBacciocchi$b Michele$4edt 702 $aTarantino$b Angelo Marcello$4oth 702 $aMajorana$b Carmelo$4oth 702 $aLuciano$b Raimondo$4oth 702 $aBacciocchi$b Michele$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557351403321 996 $aAdvances in Structural Mechanics Modeled with FEM$93021922 997 $aUNINA
