CAMES:
Computer Assisted Mechanics and Engineering Sciences

A quarterly journal

An official publication of
Central European Association for Computational Mechanics

Published by
Polish Academy of Sciences, Institute of Fundamental Technological Research

Aims and scope

Computer Assisted Mechanics and Engineering Sciences (CAMES) is a refereed international journal, published quarterly, providing a scientific exchange forum and an authoritative source of information in the field of computational mechanics and related areas of applied science and engineering. The objective of the journal is to support researchers and practitioners based in Central Europe by offering them a means facilitating access to newest research results reported by leading experts in the field, publication of their own contributions, and dissemination of information relevant to the scope of the journal.

Papers published in the journal will fall largely into three main categories:

State-of-the-art surveys and tutorials, providing the Central European readership with a guidance on important research directions as observed in the current world literature on computer assisted mechanics and engineering sciences.
Contributions presenting new research developments in the broadly understood field of computational mechanics, including solid and structural mechanics, multi-body system dynamics, fluid dynamics, constitutive modelling, structural control and optimisation, transport phenomena, heat transfer, etc. Variational formulations and numerical algorithms related to implementation of the finite and boundary element methods, finite difference method, hybrid numerical methods, artificial intelligence approaches and other methodologies of computational mechanics will also be covered.
Articles describing novel applications of computational techniques in engineering practice, industry, and education, in areas like mechanical, aerospace, civil, naval, chemical and architectural engineering as well as software development.

The journal will also publish book reviews and information on activities of the Central European Association for Computational Mechanics (CEACM).
