Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Engineering plasticity is a vibrant branch of research that opens new fields of interest. In recent years it was strongly enriched by fast dynamic loadings. This direction of scientific activity is generated by the needs of applications in different branches of industry (aviation, space engineering etc.). In this Special Issue we plan to collect new ideas in engineering plasticity and impact dynamics, two fields which have recently proved indispensable in a range of applications.
The submitted papers should be focused on the plastic behavior of materials and structures in the wide range of rate of deformations and temperatures. Theoretical, numerical and laboratory studies are welcome. Studies may be enriched by industry applications, where a main focus could be the determination of structural safety, measured by possible fracture and damage. In particular, topics of interest include the fascinating behavior of materials under impact loading when the rate of deformation is more than 100 s−1, as well as the design of new materials (often composites) which are resistant to these loadings and can serve as protective materials and structures.

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.
