The aim of the Special Issue is to serve as a platform for discussions among researchers in the field of applied mechanics, with a special focus on Biomechanics, Computational Mechanics and Mechanics of Materials. The main goal is to promote and facilitate interdisciplinary exchange and the dissemination of the latest theoretical and numerical methods in these fields, which represent the forefront of applied mechanics.

Undoubtedly, the three research fields share common features in terms of modelling techniques, material constitutive hypotheses, and numerical analysis tools. These have all been rejected in different ways to address problems of mechanics that are often very different from each other, but at the same time represent a common denominator that testifies to how rigorous and mathematically-based advanced methodologies have become effective tools of general validity for interpreting complex physical phenomena in both solid and fluid mechanics.

This Special Issue aims to collect interdisciplinary contributions selected for their originality and methodologic approach within this context.
