Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We live in a world where new ideas arise very quickly, causing new challenges, which in turn force science and industry to take new steps. The results of these activities are new structures, new technologies, and new materials. These, in turn, require proper understanding, knowledge of their behavior, and determination of the scope of their applicability. Therefore, after checking the fundamental static properties, the behavior of materials and structures under fatigue and dynamic loads is checked. Methods and algorithms for estimating durability are sought out and then developed to give engineers the opportunity to design an optimal structure.
More and more advanced testing tools allow for the analysis of increasingly complex load cases and the identification of damage mechanisms. The extensive application of advanced experimental methods allows for various damage accumulation models, but also their observation in multiple scales, from the nano to the macro level.
Authors are invited to publish their research results on the subject of fatigue failure assessment of metallic materials. We trust that this Special Issue will demonstrate the recent advances in forecasting and fatigue life assessment.

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.
