Computational mechanics deals with the use of computational methods in engineering to study physical phenomena governed by the principles of mechanics. It has got huge potential for the future growth and applications by incorporating new models of physical and biological systems based on quantum, molecular, biomechanics, and so on. The computational mechanics spans to several areas of mechanics, mathematics, computer science, and many others. Over the years, it has made a significant contribution in the design and development of new process and products due to the availability of effective computational resources. Nowadays, the computationalmethods are applied in all areas of engineering and sciences. This special issue covers the papers from various topics including thermal, fluid, solid mechanics, vibration, and vehicle dynamics. In totality, these papers provide the reader with an overall picture of the computational mechanics along with engineering and industrial applications. In this special issue, the editors received 38 manuscripts on various topics of computational mechanics. After peer review and based on the comments from reviewers, only 16 manuscripts have been accepted for publication.
