Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
You are invited to contribute to this upcoming Special Issue of Metals, entitled “Fatigue Assessment of Metals”. This issue will compile articles on theoretical and experimental research progress into metal crack initiation, crack propagation, and life estimation, with potential topics ranging from damage mechanism to life evaluation of metal materials and structures.
Fatigue damage is a typical form of metal component damage, and the fatigue damage of structural components often brings disastrous consequences. Preventing the accidental failure of structural components is one of the design objectives of any engineering structure. Based on fatigue tests and the simulation of metal components, the theory and method of fatigue damage assessments of metal materials or components are proposed. These methods promise to provides a bases for structural safety, as well as for the design, material selection, and process selection of metal components, so as to further improve the fatigue resistance of structures and delay or avoid fatigue failure. This work requires the participation of multidisciplinary expertise, including material science, structural analysis, detection technology, structural design, manufacturing technology, computer technology, quality assessment, physics, reliability, etc. In order to solve the complex engineering fatigue problem, it is necessary to involve both micro- and macro-scale theory and experimental methods.
A diverse variety of topics may be addressed under the umbrella of the fatigue assessment of metal materials and structures, including:
(1) Residual strength or life, including the influence of multi-site fatigue damage;
(2) Crack propagation, including the influence of multiple cracks or fatigue damage of multiple parts;
(3) Damage assessment using different fatigue damage detection;
(4) Life prediction includes crack initiation and crack propagation;
(5) Uniaxial and multiaxial fatigue damage assessments of different metal materials and structures;
and various related topics.
We look forward to your contributions to this Special Issue.

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.
