Fracture and Fatigue of Advanced Metallic Materials

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to collate original research articles and reviews on the field of fatigue and fracture of metallic materials. Fatigue and fracture are important forms of failure in structural materials. Research into them plays an important role in evaluating the integrity and safety of engineering structures.

This Special Issue mainly focuses on, but is not limited to, the following areas: the fatigue mechanism of metal materials, fatigue behavior in specific environments, ultra-high-cycle fatigue, multi-axis fatigue, fatigue crack propagation, fatigue statistical methods, fracture and crack arrest behavior of materials, microscopic mechanisms of fracture, etc. The fatigue and fracture of advanced metallic materials will receive special attention. Advanced materials mainly include additive manufacturing alloys, high-entropy alloys, coated metals, high-performance steel and environmentally friendly alloys, 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. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
