Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue on the state of the art in metal failure analysis is related to experimental and theoretical work in predicting failure analysis in metals, including using new artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI-ML) techniques. Failure analysis methods should include structural and microstructural characterization, correlation of such characterization with mechanical, electrical, magnetic, optic, and thermal properties of metals, as well as AI-ML algorithms enhancing the possibility of achieving lifetime failure analysis. The ultimate target is that this Special Issue provides technology to predict the remaining life time to failure of the under investigation metals. We invite works related to all kinds of metals and alloys for all possible applications.
Prof. Dr. Evangelos Hristoforou
