Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integrity and reliability of materials are paramount in numerous engineering applications, from aerospace to civil infrastructure. Steels and non-ferrous alloys are versatile in their applications because of their mechanical properties. Ensuring these materials perform optimally under diverse conditions necessitates a deep understanding of their behaviour under loadings leading to structural failure. Finite element analysis (FEA) emerges as a vital computational tool that allows engineers and researchers to model, analyze, and predict the performance of materials and structures subjected to various loads and environmental factors. Complementing FEA, fracture control methodologies are critical in preventing the initiation and propagation of cracks that can cause catastrophic failure. This Special Issue inquiries the intricacies of FEA and fracture control in steels and non-ferrous alloys, exploring the synergy between computational modelling and practical fracture mechanics to enhance the durability and safety of engineering systems.
The Special Issue ‘Finite Element Analysis and Fracture Control in Steels and Non-ferrous Alloys’ failure and fracturing, especially steels and non-ferrous alloys that outline current research techniques for comprehending fracture onset, propagation, and control based on experimental and numerical modelling.
This Special Issue concerns all research areas that focus on analyzing, modelling, and describing the behavior of materials and structures undergoing a fatal loading. We invite you to propose papers on topics related to the theory of fracture mechanics, experimental testing that accompanies the application of numerical modelling in fracture analysis, further modeling of the failure occurrence and propagation mechanisms, and, finally, studies concerning an efficient fracture control analysis.

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.
