Preface

The idea of editing this book together came at the conference PPAM 2019, in September 2019 in Białystok, Poland, which both editors attended. The actual work started in November 2019 and took a bit longer due to Covid-19; however, our online cooperation did not stop our activities. The general aim of this book was to present selected chapters of two types: chapters with more focus on modeling with some necessary simulation details and chapters with less focus on modeling but with more simulation details. During the selection process, many contributions were received, but some had to be rejected. These were mostly too theoretical and missing explanations of the algorithms or simulation details. Finally, we present eleven chapters divided into two sections according to areas of their applications:

1.Modeling in continuum mechanics

**Chapter 7 127**

**Chapter 8 149**

**Chapter 9 167**

**Chapter 10 189**

**Chapter 11 207**

2.Modeling in electronics and engineering

We hope our book entitled "Modeling and Simulation in Engineering - Selected Problems" will serve as a useful reference to students, scientists, and engineers. We are thankful to each author for the technical effort presented in each book chapter and their patience when working on revisions.

Our biggest thanks go to Ms. Dolores Kuzelj, Author Service Manager from IntechOpen, who instructed us through all stages of the editorial process. Together, we did our best to ensure the book's high quality.
