Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Material damage and failure during intensive impact loading have become a key area of research in relation to physics and engineering. Complicated microstructure evolutions at high strain rates render it challenging to explore the micromechanisms of the non-linear events involved in dynamic fracture. Our Special Issue is focused on the recent developments and applications of computational theory, simulation methods, experiments, models, and algorithms for the analysis of the dynamic damage and failure of materials and structures, such as metals, alloys, ceramics, and composites; this is expected to provide an open and active forum to strengthen academic communications on this topic.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Multiscale models and methods;
- Computational approach and its optimization;
- Numerical simulations;
- Thermo-mechanical coupling;
- Data-driven modeling;
- Mechanism;
- Dynamic damage and fracture;
- Dynamic constitutive models;
- Dynamic responses of inhomogeneous materials;
- Equation of state;
- Microstructure effects on material strengths;
- Shock experiments;
- AI applications in shock dynamics.
We hope that this Special Issue will stimulate further research in the field of material dynamic mechanical performance, promoting practical applications of advanced structural materials in extreme conditions.

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.
