Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Micromechanical analysis of metallic materials has played a major role in understanding the behaviour of metallic materials. Nowadays, it has become more challenging because of the emergence of new advanced metallic materials to meet growing industrial demands. The third generation of advanced high-strength steels with complex microstructure exhibits an extremely strong and ductile behaviour. Light metals like magnesium alloys and titanium alloys are expanding their applications. However, the analysis of the mechanical behaviour of these materials poses difficulties due to the complex deformation modes originated from their microstructure.
Computational methods have advanced to address these issues. More accurate crystal plasticity models are being developed with new efficient and robust numerical schemes. The phase-field method and cellular automata enable one to capture the evolution of microstructures. Interactions of dislocations with microscale features are accounted for with the introduction of large-scale molecular dynamics and dislocation dynamics. These methods are often coupled to describe complex phenomena occurring in metallic materials.
The Special Issue “Computational Mechanics of Advanced Metallic Materials” focuses on the modelling and simulation of deformation processes of advanced metallic materials. Research papers and review articles on computational analysis of metals on a small, meso, or large scale are welcome.

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.
