Special Issues of the 13^th EASN Conference

Further to the Conference Proceedings which will include all presented papers, a number of selected papers will be published in international journals following peer review.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prospective authors will be required to warrant that the work is original and submitted for first publication in the respective scientific journal. All submitted manuscripts will be checked to avoid claims of plagiarism. In this context, overlaps with already published works, including the full-length papers for the EASN Conference proceedings, should typically not exceed 25%. The accurate percentage of acceptable overlap is set by the respective journals.

Useful Information regarding the so-far confirmed international journal can be found below:

3. Journal of Composites Science

Modeling and simulation (#M&S) in #aerospace have been widely used and increasingly improved over the years with the aims of supporting a more reliable design practice and to aid the products’ final qualification with respect to the authorities’ rules and guidelines. Scientists and engineers are constantly looking for a more digital qualification and certification exploring M&S advancements and high-fidelity approaches in several disciplines. Advanced M&S methods have demonstrated the ability to simulate highly complex composite systems’ behaviors, reducing the amount of physical testing. Such an approach requires the development of a credibility assurance framework (#CAF) to support risk-informed applications of advanced M&S. This is a crucial research and innovation stream to make viable the #M&S advanced methods for practical applications in aerospace composite. In addition, the current #aerospace innovation topics are devoted to the development of greener aircraft and new space systems. Modeling and Simulation in Aerospace Composites" Special. The novel M&S methods are required to take into account technical issues never considered before such as onboard cryogenic #H₂ tanks for greener aircraft and new type of ceramic composite for the thermal protections of spacecraft.

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue with your original and beyond state-of-the-art studies, methods, techniques, results and V&V experiences in aeronautical and space composite to improve the M&S methods from theoretical, numerical and practical point of views, with the aim of supporting the worldwide aerospace communities in making the whole development pathway of composite aircraft and spacecraft more reliable and more affordable.

Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

Structures strength and buckling;
Aeronautical virtual certification;
Credibility assurance framework;
Aeroelasticity and dynamics;
Crashworthiness;
Numerical formulations;
Noise detection and reduction;
Impact loads (e.g., bird strike and space debris);
Hot structures and protection systems for re-entry spacecraft;
Multi-disciplinary optimization;
Electromagnetic compatibility;
Lighting protection;
Stealth capabilities;
Low-weight structures.
