Fatigue is one of the most critical problems in structural design, and this is true at different scale levels. The present Special Issue, Fatigue Behavior and Crack Mechanism of Metals and Alloys, aims to highlight this important topic, showing recent trends and developments. The Special Issue is dedicated to traditional and innovative materials, and the aim is to provide a full overview of the recent topics mentioned above. The SI contains 12 papers touching on different computational and experimental aspects [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12].
The Guest Editor wants to thank all the authors and reviewers who dedicate time to this Special Issue.
