CMES: Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences

CMES: Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences

Aims and Scope: This journal publishes original research papers of reasonable permanent value, in the areas of: computational mechanics, computational physics, computational chemistry, and computational biology, pertinent to solids, fluids, gases, biomaterials, and other continua. Various length scales (quantum, nano, micro, meso, and macro), and various time scales (picoseconds to hours) are of interest. Papers which deal with multi-physics problems, as well as those which deal with the interfaces of mechanics, chemistry, and biology, are particularly encouraged. New computational approaches, and more efficient algorithms, which eventually make near-real-time computations possible, are welcome. Original papers dealing with new methods such as meshless methods, and mesh-reduction methods are sought.

Manuscript Format & Style: References to the literature in the text should be by author and year;all the authors’ names should be spelled out; and the use of “et al” should be avoided at all costs.References should be listed in alphabetical order, at the end of the paper, as follows:

Atluri, S. N.; Nakagaki, M. (1986): Computational methods for plane problems of fracture. In: S.N. Atluri (ed) Computational methods in the mechanics of fracture, Elsevier, Amsterdam, pp.169-227.

Atluri, S. N. (2004): The Meshless Method (MLPG) for Domain & BIE Discretization. Tech Science Press, 680 pages, Forsyth, GA.

Illustrations: Photographs should be in focus, be of high contrast, and should not be lettered with a ball pencil, felt pen or ink. Colour illustrations will not be accepted in the printed version of CMES;however, they will be accepted in the online version of CMES. Line drawings should be supplied as clear black- and-white drawings suitable for reduction rates of 40-50%. Lettering should be of standard vertical type and large enough, so that, after reduction, it will not be less than 2 mm size.Submission of digital images is preferred, and strongly suggested.

Manuscript Typesetting: Authors are requested to submit electronic versions of the manuscripts,in order to facilitate an accurate typesetting. Papers (with both PDF and source files) must be uploaded electronically, at the website: http://submission.techscience.com/cmes. Detailed instructions for preparing the manuscripts, including the format and styles, can be down-loaded from the website: http://www.techscience.com/cmes. Authors are encouraged to use either the customized LaTex macro or the template for Microsoft Word, both of which can be down-loaded from http://www.techscience.com/cmes, to prepare the final version of their manuscripts. Authors are requested to submit their manuscript in LaTex source .les (including the non-standard macro packages used), or in Word Document Format, to facilitate an accurate typesetting. Authors may elect to submit two versions of manuscript, one for the printed version of CMES, and the other for the on-line version of CMES. Illustrations in colour may be used only in the on-line version of the manuscripts.

Proofreading: Proofs are sent to the corresponding author, to be downloaded from the journal’s website: http://submission.techscience.com/cmes. The corrected proofs should be returned within 48 hours and corrections limited to typographical errors. Any other changes in the text are expensive and will partially be charged to the authors. Corrections are to be done using internationally accepted symbols.

Offprints: Offprints may be ordered at cost price when the page proofs are returned. Tech Science Press will supply the corresponding author with 2 free copies of the relevant issue of CMES.
