Special Issue: Numerical Simulation and Thermo-Mechanical Investigation of Composite Structures.

This document discusses the importance of understanding the behavior of composite materials under thermal and mechanical loads. The research focuses on material behavior, predictive modeling, performance enhancement, and safety and reliability. Experimental work is accurate but costly and time-consuming, so modeling and simulation work is being developed as a reliable alternative. The goal is to improve the performance of composite structures in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and civil engineering, while also reducing the environmental impact of manufacturing. The research areas include material characterization, numerical simulation, failure analysis, design optimization, manufacturing processes, safety and reliability assessment, heat transfer, and experimental validations.
