Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Understanding the deformation and fracture behavior of materials is crucial for comprehending failure mechanisms in structures, devices, and even biological systems. Firstly, the material deformation is categorized based on the time-independence of the elastic, plastic, and creep behavior. Deformations are not limited to the initial microstructure of the material, but change continuously with the processes, environments, and loads. Secondly, the material fracture is distinguished by the direction of loading into static and fatigue loading, involving mechanisms of crack inititation and propagation. A combination of ductile, brittle, and fatigue mechanisms may result from the material fracture depending on temperature variations, exposure environments, and load types. Therefore, an analysis of the deformation and fracture behaviors in various environments is essential for ensuring integrity.
To comprehend such deformation and fracture, it is necessary to employ theoretical, experimental, and numerical studies across multiple cales. This Special Issue collects research aimed at understanding the deformation and fracture of various materials from fundamental and engineering perspectives. Contributions that enhance the understanding of the mechanics at micro-, meso-, and macroscopic scales from theoretical, experimental, and numerical viewpoints in various environments are encouraged.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
