This special issue attempts to cover the recent advances onvarious aspects of theories, analyses, and applications ofcomputational methods in engineering science, reflecting thestate of the art in computational methods and their frame-works, applications, networking technologies, and new andadvanced engineering applications in emerging technologiessuch as the bioscience and biotechnology, nanoscience andnanotechnology, numerical modeling, simulation and analy-sis, and material sciences.

The topics covered by the articles including in thisspecial issue encompass computationalmechanics, ocean andoffshore engineering, computational fluid dynamics, compu-tational mathematics and statistics, computational physics,computational material sciences, multiscale modeling, disas-ter simulation and analysis, element-free/meshless/mesh-freemethods and dimension-reduction methods, geometric andmaterial nonlinear analyses, damage, fracture and fatigue,contact mechanics and friction, smart structures and healthmonitoring, structural optimization, nanomechanics, biome-chanics, inverse and coupling problems, and reliability theoryand application.

We hope that this special issue will be cited for recentadvances in these research areas.
