FINITE ELEMENTS IN ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

The aim of this journal is to provide ideas and information involving the use of the finite element method and its variants, both in scientific inquiry and in professional practice. The scope is intentionally broad, encompassing use of the finite element method in engineering as well as the pure and applied sciences. The emphasis of the journal will be the development and use of numerical procedures to solve practical problems, although contributions relating to the mathematical and theoretical foundations and computer implementation of numerical methods are likewise welcomed. Review articles presenting unbiased and comprehensive reviews of state-of-the-art topics will also be accommodated.All submissions to FINEL will be peer reviewed, and must have archival value to be suitable for publication. Reflecting the aforementioned emphasis on solution of practical problems, numerical demonstration of proposed methodologies will generally be considered a necessary ingredient for papers appearing in FINEL. Conversely, applications of existing finite element techniques to widely studied problems will typically not be favorably considered for publication, except where such presentations are particularly novel or enlightening, either with respect to the results obtained or the method of application used.The journal encompasses any field where numerical solution procedures for initial/boundary value problems are needed to meet design and analysis needs. Although the following list is not exhaustive, contributions are sought in structural mechanics, geomechanics, mechanical engineering, mechanics of materials, fluid mechanics, thermal sciences, hydrology, chemical engineering, biomechanics, electrical engineering, aero/astro engineering, and environmental engineering and science. In addition to contributions focused directly on numerical methodologies, submissions dealing with computer-aided engineering methods, parallel computing, optimal design strategies, mesh generation and post processing, code validation, experimental verification, and visualization are also solicited.Submit your Article online:We are pleased to announce that a new electronic submission and handling system, EES, has been implemented for Finite Elements in Analylsis and Design. EES (the Elsevier Editorial System) is a web-based system with full online submission, review and status update capabilities. EES allows you to upload files directly from your computer. This is part of our ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency and accuracy of our editorial procedures, and the quality and timeliness of the manuscripts published. We strongly encourage all authors to use EES at the following URL when submitting papers to FINEL. The Elsevier Editorial System can be accessed at http://ees.elsevier.com/finel (First time users will need to register.)Related Conferences will be found via the links on the right menu bar under 'Related websites'.

FINITE ELEMENTS IN ANALYSIS AND DESIGN期刊中文简介

本杂志的目的是提供涉及有限元方法及其变体的思想和信息，无论是在科学研究还是在专业实践中。范围是有意广泛的，包括在工程中使用有限元方法，以及纯科学和应用科学。该期刊的重点将是开发和使用数值程序来解决实际问题，尽管与数学和理论基础以及计算机实现数值方法有关的贡献同样受到欢迎。还将提供对最新主题的公正和全面审查的审查文章。所有提交给Finel的文件都将经过同行评审，并且必须具有适合出版的存档价值。考虑到上述对解决实际问题的重视，建议方法的数值演示通常被视为Finel中出现的论文的必要组成部分。相反，现有的有限元技术在广泛研究的问题上的应用通常不会被考虑出版，除非此类展示特别新颖或具有启发性，无论是关于获得的结果还是使用的应用方法。该期刊涵盖了任何需要初始/边界值问题的数值求解程序来满足设计和分析需要的领域。尽管以下列表并不详尽，但在结构力学、地质力学、机械工程、材料力学、流体力学、热学、水文学、化学工程、生物力学、电气工程、航空/航天工程以及环境工程和科学等领域都有广泛的贡献。除了直接关注数值方法的贡献外，还要求提交涉及计算机辅助工程方法、并行计算、优化设计策略、网格生成和后处理、代码验证、实验验证和可视化的文件。在线提交文章：我们很高兴地宣布，一个新的电子提交和处理系统，EES，已经在分析和设计中实现了有限元。EES（Elsevier编辑系统）是一个基于网络的系统，具有完整的在线提交、审查和状态更新功能。EES允许您直接从计算机上传文件。这是我们不断努力提高编辑程序的效率和准确性以及出版的手稿的质量和及时性的一部分。我们强烈建议所有作者在向Finel提交论文时使用以下网址的ees。可以在http://ees.elsevier.com/finel上访问Elsevier编辑系统（首次用户需要注册）。相关会议将通过“相关网站”下右侧菜单栏上的链接找到。
