Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In engineering applications, the safety, reliability, high efficiency, low consumption and environmental optimization of equipment are important for the development of a low-carbon economy. However, the gradual degradation of special materials leads to gradual changes in their dynamic response and thermal load characteristics, resulting in an unstable working quality and the failure of equipment. Therefore, the monitoring and evaluation of the degradation of special materials is a key issue for high-end equipment in order to achieve reliable operation and healthy service.

The main purpose of this Special Issue, entitled “Evolution of the Working Performance of Special Materials during the Whole Life Cycle”, is to find solutions to the difficulties and challenges encountered in the quantification, monitoring and evaluation of the working performance of special materials in the whole life cycle. This research field covers the reviews, principles, and methods of the overall performance of special materials, including formation and preparation processes, whole-life performance monitoring, quantification and evaluation, optimal working condition design, etc. The main areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the manufacturing and processing of composites, the quantitative characterization of micro-morphology and the friction coefficient, the identification of material deformation and failure, the evalution of noise and vibration, oil detection technology for worn materials, numerical simulation and experimental methods for the evaluation of friction wear, dynamic response, and thermal load characteristics. We welcome the submission of papers addressing the monitoring, quantification and evaluation of the working performance of special materials in the whole life cycle, from the perspective of the development of applications.

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.
