Journal of Computation and Artificial Intelligence in Mechanics and Biomechanics - Volume 2 - Issue 2

Journal of Computation and Artificial Intelligence in Mechanics and Biomechanics (JCAIMB) is a scholarly online peer review free open access journal fully sponsored by "Publicações ISEP". All manuscripts are available in the ZENODO repository database, from OpenAIRE project, allowing an automatically abstracting and indexation and free open access.

Thus, JCAIMB is committed to ensure free Open Science to both authors and readers and to publish only quality works, which are reviewed by experts in related field. Moreover, JCAIMB aims to publish quality original research works, following the scientific method of scholarly value in computational mechanics and biomechanics combined with several degrees of artificial intelligence, whose formulations and applications are properly demonstrated and validated. Nevertheless, innovative applications using commercial software packages are encouraged, as well as original and up-to-date revision manuscripts. In this issue, four manuscripts are published in JCAIMB:

• Bending analysis of antisymmetric angle-ply laminates using HSDTs and the radial point interpolation method – Part I: Literature review and formulation, by D.E.S. Rodrigues, Renato N. Natal Jorge and J. Belinha;
• Bending analysis of antisymmetric angle-ply laminates using HSDTs and the radial point interpolation method – Part II: numerical examples, by D.E.S. Rodrigues, Renato N. Natal Jorge and J. Belinha;
• Combining artifcial neural networks with fnite element methods to predict the structural response of the proximal femur, by A.I. Pais, J.L. Alves and J. Belinha;
• An elastoplastic constitutive model to simulate the non-linear behaviour of chitosan material for nerve regeneration guide tubes applications, by J. Gomes, R.M. Natal Jorge and J.Belinha.
