Preface: Advances in computational aerospace materials science and engineering

摘要

Aerospace science & technology; computational materials science & engineering%In the last two decades, with the rapid development of Chinese Aerospace Engineering, many emerging new technologies and methodologies have been proposed and developed in the aerospace engineering discipline. This special topic issue will offer our valued readers insights into the current development of aerospace engineering related computational aerospace materials science and engineering research now being undertaken in China. These 11 research papers include the latest research into the vibration and strength of aerospace structures, aerodynamics of aerospace shuttles and satellite structures, and aeroacoustic noise of aerospace structures. We trust this series papers will provide an overview of aerospace engineering activities in China, focussing in the most advanced computational techniques and powerful numerical methodologies being developed and employed to advance this field.
