Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to collate original research articles and reviews that deepen our understanding of fatigue and fracture mechanisms in engineering materials and structures. In the evolving field of material science and engineering, a comprehensive understanding of fatigue and fracture behaviors under varied conditions is crucial for advancing technology and infrastructure. Submissions that delve into specific failure modes, including but not limited to impact, creep, brittle fractures, ductile failure, spall, and the effect of the stress state, are of particular interest. These investigations will provide essential insights that can contribute to the broader knowledge base of material behavior under complex loading conditions.

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.
