Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The mechanical properties of engineering materials are fundamental to the design, reliability, and performance of structures and components across industries such as energy, civil engineering, automotive, aerospace, and biomedical applications. Understanding these properties—including strength, toughness, fatigue resistance, and deformation behavior—is critical for advancing material innovation and ensuring safety and durability in demanding environments. With the rapid development of advanced materials and testing techniques, there is a growing need to explore cutting-edge evaluation methods and share insights into the mechanical behavior of emerging materials.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Materials titled “Mechanical Properties of Engineering Materials and Their Evaluation Methods.” This issue aims to bring together high-quality research to foster discussions and reviews on recent advancements, challenges, and future directions in this field.
This Special Issue aims to compile original and review articles that address the latest developments in improving and characterizing the mechanical properties of engineering materials. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel testing and evaluation techniques of advanced engineering materials.
- Advanced modeling and simulation methods of engineering materials.
- Multi-scale study on durability and degradation of engineering materials.
- Applications of machine learning in mechanical property prediction.
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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
