Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Having a good design and knowing the actual lifespan of structures and products is incredibly significant, as any failures have the potential to lead to loss of human lives. As such, it is engineers’ duty to know the exact length of time that all important components of their designs can tolerate a known, repeated stress before they break.
Fatigue is a failure that occurs due to repeated loading and is a common cause of fracture. From an engineering point of view, it is of particular significance to study the field of the causes of cracks and their propagation.
The object of this Special Issue is to address the problems related to the torsional, rotational fatigue behavior of steels, as well as uniaxial stress tests.
Areas to be covered in this Special Issue may include but are not limited to:
- Torsional, rotational bending fatigue test methods;
- Standard fatigue test methods;
- Tensile and creep testing under different conditions;
- Crack initiation and propagation;
- Surface fracture analysis.
This Special Issue will hopefully contribute to the collaboration of scientists from different fields of mechanical material characterization and engineering. Different approaches, i.e. analytical, numerical, and experimental, are encouraged and welcome.

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.
