Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, intensive research has been conducted on new structural materials. They have attracted particular attention because of their favorable properties, including low mass and high strength. Additionally, the dynamic development of new manufacturing technologies, such as additive manufacturing, provides new opportunities in the field of protective structures. This has been further advanced by the global circular economy that stresses the importance of materials in the production process.
Therefore, the main aim of this Special Issue is to publish scientific papers covering the recent problems related to structural materials research and additive manufacturing, including the following:
- Experimental testing;
- Structures under quasi-static and dynamic conditions;
- Numerical modeling and simulation verified by experimental tests;
- Laboratory studies of structure materials.
The purpose of this Special Issue and the subject matter of the scope of the journal are formulated as:
- Material tests and simulations;
- Structural materials design;
- Materials engineering.
Hopefully, the presented Special Issue will receive many excellent papers covering the aforementioned topics. Ultimately, it will become a useful source of data and knowledge for scientists working in a similar field.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Designs is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 1600 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.
