Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Understanding the fatigue behavior of metals and their alloys still is a major concern when applications subjected to dynamic loadings are envisaged. Challenges are raised either from materials side, with new alloys and processing technologies being continuously developed, as well as from the loadings side, where multiaxiality, mechanical-thermal interactions, complex variable amplitude loading, extreme cyclic loadings become very often in real applications. The understanding of the physics of the fatigue phenomena in the referred background and its accurate modeling are essential factors for the safe, efficient and resilient design of new mechanical components and structures. This Special Issue intends to gather original contributions aiming the investigation on the fatigue behavior of metals and alloys covering the following related topics:
- Fatigue performance of new alloys;
- Effects of manufacturing processes on fatigue behavior (additive, subtractive, etc);
- Multiaxial fatigue;
- Extreme low-cycle fatigue and very high-cycle fatigue;
- Fatigue damage under variable amplitude loading;
- Fatigue modeling covering various approaches (ex. Phenomenological, Microstructural based; Fracture Mechanics, Probabilistic Approaches);
- Fretting fatigue;
- Size effects;
- Mechanical-thermal loads interactions;
- Fatigue behavior of mechanical components and structural details;
- Numerical simulation of fatigue damage.

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.
