Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modelling and simulation techniques have become key components of modern scientific studies and industry applications concerning metal-related materials. This Special Issue, "Modelling and Simulation in Examination of Deformation and Damage in Metals and Metallic Systems", will showcase recent discoveries regarding the problems of damage and deformation in metals and metallic systems. We welcome the submission of research on topics including, but not limited to
- Experimental techniques, methods, and diagnostics for determining the constitutive response of hardening metals in the static and dynamic regimes prior to fracturing;
- Hybrid experimental–computational methods to determine the hardening and fracture behaviour of metals;
- The modelling and simulation of deformation and damage prior to fracturing;
- Strain rate-dependent damage models for the hardening and fracture behaviour of metals;
- The assessment of metal structures to determine the onset of fracturing using the accumulated damage;
- The response of metals and metallic systems to dynamic loading under high strain rates, impacts, blasts, penetration, shock responses, and extreme conditions;
- The hardening behaviour and ductile or brittle fracturing of metals under ultra-high, high, or moderate strain rates;
- All experimental and numerical approaches for determining the damage and fracture behaviour of metals and metallic systems.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.
