Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plastic deformation of metals is a very interesting research topic because of its multi-disciplinary nature. For efficient research work, one has to be familiar with mechanics and materials sciences as well. Therefore, the present Special Issue focuses mainly on the field of mechanics of metals. The metallurgical aspect of plastic deformation is also a relevant topic. Submissions on the following topics are welcome: strain hardening with relation to microstructure characteristics, crystal plasticity, polycrystal plasticity, micro-mechanics, crystallographic textures developing during plastic deformation, dislocation mechanics, molecular dynamics simulations of plastic deformation, mechanical behavior of new materials, new forming techniques, new mathematical descriptions of forming operations, microstructure dependent material strength, and friction induced plasticity. For all the listed topics, experimental as well as modeling works, or their combinations, are appropriate.

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.

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.
