Polyhedrons occur extensively in nature. Polygonal and polyhedral finite elements (PFEM) have increasingly been known in both academic and industrial research. They offer highly computational efficiency and are more flexibility in mesh design for arbitrary geometries. This mini-symposium aims at highlighting both theoretical and applicable aspects of advanced polygonal and polyhedral finite elements. There is no limit to multidisciplinary research topics of PFEM in computational mechanics.
