Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the developments of experimental technology and an analytical approach, advanced composite materials and structures have been adequately studied from microscale to macroscale and have been widely used in various engineering field such as aerospace, civil, mechanical, naval architecture, etc. Mechanical performance is one of the most important attributes for composite materials and structures when we design structural and mechanical engineering components. There is no doubt the application of advanced composite materials promotes industry development. In addition, the development of industry also stimulates the demands of next-generation high-performance composite materials, such as nanocomposites and metamaterials.
This Special Issue is dedicated to the mechanical performances of advanced composite materials and structures. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Experiments of advanced composite materials and structures;
- Mechanical analysis of advanced composite materials and structures;
- Numerical simulations of advanced composite materials and structures;
- Damage and failure of advanced composite materials and structures;
- Design and application of advanced composite materials and structures;
- Multi-sale modelling of advanced composite materials;
- Nanocomposites and metamaterials.

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.
