Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plastic anisotropy arises from different metal-forming processes, such as the production of rolled sheets, drawn sheets, extruded billets, and others. The most significant factor giving rise to anisotropic properties is the preferred orientation of grains. However, quantitative treatment of plastic anisotropy is possible without regard to its crystallographic origin nor any anisotropic yield criteria and flow rules. The anisotropic yield criterion has a great effect on the analysis and design of structures and machine parts. The orthotropic form of anisotropy is most common. In this case, the anisotropic properties have two-fold symmetry. Another important form of anisotropy demands that a material has rotational symmetry about the principal axes of anisotropy.
This Special Issue of Symmetry features articles about analytical and numerical methods for the analysis and design of structures and metal-forming processes assuming that the material is plastically anisotropic. We are soliciting contributions covering a broad range of topics including limit load, springback, stress intensity factor, defect assessment procedures, strain rate intensity factor, minimum weight, forming limit diagram, and others. We are interested in contributions that show how certain assumptions concerning symmetry of anisotropic properties specifically affect the analysis and design of structures and technological processes.

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. Symmetry 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 2400 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.
