All http://ees.elsevier.com/finel/submissions to FINEL will be peer reviewed, and must have archival value to be suitable for publication. Reflecting the aforementioned emphasis on solution of practical problems, numerical demonstration of proposed methodologies will generally be considered a necessary ingredient for papers appearing in FINEL. Conversely, applications of existing finite element techniques to widely studied problems will typically not be favorably considered for publication, except where such presentations are particularly novel or enlightening, either with respect to the results obtained or the method of application used.

The journal encompasses any field where numerical solution procedures for initial/boundary value problems are needed to meet design and analysis needs. Although the following list is not exhaustive, contributions are sought in structural mechanics, geomechanics, mechanical engineering, mechanics of materials, fluid mechanics, thermal sciences, hydrology, chemical engineering, biomechanics, electrical engineering, aero/astro engineering, and environmental engineering and science. In addition to contributions focused directly on numerical methodologies, submissions dealing with computer-aided engineering methods, parallel computing, optimal design strategies, mesh generation and post processing, code validation, experimental verification, and visualization are also solicited.

We are pleased to announce that a new electronic submission and handling system, EES, has been implemented for Finite Elements in Analylsis and Design. EES (the Elsevier Editorial System) is a web-based system with full online submission, review and status update capabilities. EES allows you to upload files directly from your computer. This is part of our ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency and accuracy of our editorial procedures, and the quality and timeliness of the manuscripts published. We strongly encourage all authors to use EES at the following URL when submitting papers to FINEL. The Elsevier Editorial System can be accessed at http://ees.elsevier.com/finel (First time users will need to register.)
