Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades it has been widely recognized that preventing the failure of engineering structures necessitates the involvement of a large amount of expertise and, depending on the application, a multidisciplinary and multi-scale approach may be required in terms of both size and time. The series of the International Conference of Engineering Against Failure (ICEAF) aims to provide on a biennial basis a forum to present relevant scientific and technological achievements and to discuss them with an audience of international experts.
The scope of the conference is to attract interdisciplinary work dedicated to the design against engineering failure, the implementation of appropriate guidelines against failure, the development and application of concepts and technologies to prevent failure, the use of both novel and established approaches, technologies, and tools for failure analysis, as well as a deep understanding of the underlying failure mechanisms and the identification of the root causes of failure.
The works are expected to cover a number of different technological areas including aeronautics and space, the automotive industry, the marine industry, wind energy, oil refineries and the chemical industry, civil engineering applications, bioengineering and medical applications, and so forth. The ICEAF VII conference is co-chaired by Spiros Pantelakis (Professor Emeritus, University of Patras, Laboratory of Technology and Strength of Materials) and Michael Vormwald (Professor, Head of Materials Mechanics Group, Technical University of Darmstadt) who will jointly share scientific responsibility for the conference.

The opening date for submissions is 26 June 2023.

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. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
