Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Failures (e.g., instability, damage, and fracture) and multiphysical fields coupling (thermal, hydro, mechanical, and chemical fields) problems exist in the in situ occurrence and exploitation process of geo-energy, and they have become the key factors affecting the disasters in the exploitation process. Without understanding of the involved mechanisms, it is challenging to exploit energy safely and efficiently. The goal of this Special Issue is to review the novel theories and methods concerning failure and multiphysical fields in geo-energy problems including new applications in related fields. The aim is to define the state-of-the-art of the subject and the recently proposed methods, as well as future directions of research in this area. Another goal—which we hope will be beneficial for the community of failure and multiphysical fields—is to connect participants so that international collaborations can take place for advanced research and study of relevant applications.

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. Energies 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.
