Preface: Numerical Modelling of Fibre-Reinforced Materials and Structures.

This document is a preface to a special issue of the International Journal of Computational Methods on the topic of "Numerical Modelling of Fibre-Reinforced Materials and Structures." The special issue contains selected papers presented at the Fifth Australasian Conference on Computational Mechanics, which focused on the use of computational methods and modelling technology in the field of fibre-reinforced materials and structures. The papers in this special issue cover advanced theory, algorithms, numerical simulations, and novel applications of computational techniques in this area. The research and development of fibre-reinforced materials and structures have been increasing, leading to enhanced structure safety and infrastructure resilience. The preface is written by Sarah (Yixia) Zhang from the School of Engineering, Design and Built Environment at Western Sydney University in Australia. [Extracted from the article]
