Preface
We are honored to announce the inauguration of a new electronic journal, Journal of Computational Science and Technology (JCST). This journal has just started on the Computational Mechanics Division of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME).
JCST aims at speedy, on line publication of original, high-quality research papers, short papers and review papers in broad areas of Computational Mechanics.
We hope JCST is to become an international journal in the very near future, by gathering internationally excellent reviewers and welcoming guest editors on the worldwide basis.
This memorial first issue consists of several original papers related to Computational Mechanics. We are deeply thankful to the distinguished researcher who contributed to these papers.
We are encouraging all the researchers in the field of Computational Mechanics, not only in Japan but also over the world to submit their excellent papers to JCST.
Finally, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the editors of JCST for their great contribution to the journal.
