Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fatigue is the gradual process of crack initiation and propagation in materials subjected to repetitive loading, while creep-fatigue combines the creep characteristics of materials with loading at elevated temperatures. Steel is widely used in engineering applications, and thus the evaluation of its fatigue and creep-fatigue properties is crucial. The fatigue and creep-fatigue damage of steel in usage environments is one of the most common failure modes for steels. The purpose of this Special Issue on “Evaluation of Fatigue and Creep-Fatigue Damage of Steel” is to explore the complex relationship between performance, processing, microstructure, and environmental degradation in steels and various environments.
This Special Issue delves into the assessment of fatigue and creep-fatigue damage in steel over prolonged usage periods. Encompassing various aspects, including fundamental principles, testing methodologies, numerical simulations, and practical engineering applications, articles within this Special Issue can focus on the fatigue life of steel under different loads and temperature conditions, as well as theoretical analyses of creep-fatigue damage mechanisms. These evaluations guide the design and utilization of steel in practical engineering, aiming to enhance its performance and durability. Furthermore, modifications to steel materials aimed at enhancing their fatigue and creep resistance are welcomed, alongside an exploration of the potential applications of material design and structural optimization in mitigating fatigue and creep-fatigue damage.
This Special Issue will cover the fatigue and creep-fatigue damage of steel in different environments as well as different industries (transportation, energy, oil and gas, nuclear, etc.) and process history (cast, wrought, and additive manufacturing).
Overall, this Special Issue invites contributions from academia, researchers, industry professionals, and engineers.

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.
