Computational Particle Mechanics

Journal Title：Computational Particle Mechanics

GENERAL OBJECTIVES: Computational Particle Mechanics (CPM) is a quarterly journal with the goal of publishing full-length original articles addressing the modeling and simulation of systems involving particles and particle methods. The goal is to enhance communication among researchers in the applied sciences who use "particles'' in one form or another in their research.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: Particle-based materials and numerical methods have become wide-spread in the natural and applied sciences, engineering, biology. The term "particle methods/mechanics'' has now come to imply several different things to researchers in the 21st century, including:

(a) Particles as a physical unit in granular media, particulate ?ows, plasmas, swarms, etc.,

(b) Particles representing material phases in continua at the meso-, micro-and nano-scale and

(c) Particles as a discretization unit in continua and discontinua in numerical methods such as

Discrete Element Methods (DEM), Particle Finite Element Methods (PFEM), Molecular Dynamics (MD), and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), to name a few.

總體目標：計算粒子力學 (CPM) 是一本季刊，旨在發表涉及粒子和粒子方法的系統的建模和模擬的全文原創文章。目標是加強在研究中以某種形式使用“粒子”的應用科學研究人員之間的交流。

具體目標：基于粒子的材料和數值方法已廣泛用于自然科學和應用科學、工程學、生物學?！傲Ｗ臃椒?力學”一詞現在對 21 世紀的研究人員來說意味著幾件不同的事情，包括：

(a) 粒子作為顆粒介質、顆粒流、等離子體、群體等中的物理單元，

(b) 粒子代表中觀、微觀和納米尺度的連續體中的材料相，以及

(c) 粒子作為數值方法中連續體和不連續體中的離散單元，例如

離散元法 (DEM)、粒子有限元法 (PFEM)、分子動力學（MD）和光滑粒子流體動力學（SPH），僅舉幾例。

Computational Particle Mechanics創刊于2014年，由Springer International Publishing出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋Mathematics - Computational Mathematics全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 ，影響因子指數2.8，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
