Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To improve and reflect on material design and engineering applications, combined fatigue behavior and multi-scale simulation should be addressed. On the other hand, knowledge of the relationship between combined fatigue, including creep-fatigue, low–high-cycle fatigue, and very-high-cycle fatigue, is necessary and should be generated based on experiments and simulations. According to this background, understanding combined fatigue behavior and damage mechanisms based on the microstructure and multi-scale simulation allows scientists and engineers to improve mechanical properties and meet the desired requirements.
This Special Issue provides an exchange of opinions on recent developments in the field of combined fatigue and multi-scale simulation. It is devoted to the development of experimental and theoretical methods and multi-scale models to evaluate and descript the behavior of materials subjected to various types of combined loads, including, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Creep fatigue;
- Low–high-cycle fatigue;
- Very-high-cycle fatigue;
- Deformation/damage mechanisms;
- Microstructure evolution;
- Fatigue life assessment;
- Multi-scale simulation.
It is a pleasure to invite you to submit your research to this Special Issue, and we look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Hong Zhang
Guest Editor
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.
