Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of advanced design methods and manufacturing tools, novel materials and structures are demonstrating broad application prospects. Underlying these advancements is the skillful utilization of numerical simulation methods, machine learning, and mechanical theories, necessitating in-depth research. The mechanical properties of materials change under external loads. Predicting these mechanical properties, such as crack propagation, fatigue life, plasticity, and buckling, is crucial for the utilization of materials and structures, and the underlying theories and simulations warrant further exploration. Moreover, developing theoretical and numerical models and tailoring the mechanical properties of materials are of significant value for the design of materials and structures with specific mechanical functions. This Special Issue will focus on research utilizing theoretical models, numerical methods, and other tools to predict and tailor the mechanical behavior of materials. The papers collected in this Special Issue can help researchers, engineers, and scientists find advanced mechanical analysis methods and provide ideas for the search for new materials.

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. Materials 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 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.
