Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fatigue and fracture are the main failure forms in material service. The research on fatigue and fracture involves important industries and key fields such as material research and development, mechanical manufacturing, modern transportation, infrastructure construction, petrochemicals, and aerospace. Therefore, the purpose of this Special Issue is to share the latest technological achievements and jointly explore the hot and difficult issues in the field of fatigue and fracture. In this Special Issue, the following areas are fully considered: fatigue and fracture mechanics, fatigue and fracture micro-mechanisms, failure theory research of materials and structures, fatigue of steel used for basic parts, damage failure and life prediction of equipment in the whole life cycle, fatigue and fracture engineering application in key industries, fatigue chemical coupling failure mechanism and prevention and control, new progress and new technology in the field of fatigue and fracture, etc.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
