Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced theoretical and computational crystal plasticity methods in crystalline materials are well-defined means of discovering and analyzing the underlying dislocation mechanisms used to develop constitutive models. Crystal plasticity finite element (CPFE) methods are used to employ some of the extensive knowledge gained from the experimental and theoretical studies of single crystal behaviors, such as plastic deformation and dislocation activities, in order to inform the further development of continuum field theories of deformation. The high performance crystal plasticity frameworks expedite and enhance the efficiency of the computations, which can be utilized in hierarchical multi-scale schemes to bridge length scales to simulate and design metallic alloys for superior mechanical properties.
Enormous progress in these fields has been achieved in recent years, initiating novel theoretical, analytical, and experimental approaches to illuminate prospective paths. In this Special Issue, research, improvements, and ideas in the subsequent fields in metals and metallic alloys are welcomed:
- Multi-scale crystal plasticity;
- Artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning, and machine learning in crystal plasticity;
- Crystal plasticity finite element methods (CPFEM);
- Visco-plastic self-consistent (VPSC);
- Size effects and non-local crystal plasticity;
- Phenomenological and physics-based constitutive models;
- Modeling in extreme environment;
- Creep and high temperature behaviors of crystalline materials;
- Crystal plasticity damage modeling;
- Microstructure and texture evolution;
- Phase field simulations;
- Polycrystalline plasticity modeling;
- Superalloys behavior analysis;
- Small and large deformation crystal plasticity;
- Advanced forming technologies;
- Designing metallic alloys.

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.
