Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern industrial applications demand excellent mechanical properties of structural materials. The desired characteristics are generally developed by extensive alloying or the design of composite structure. However, many composites, high-alloy steels, and alloys lack ductility, which results in their early fracture during processing or operation. To prevent the failure of metallic materials, it is important to investigate the effect of element composition and microstructure on fracturing. Experimental mechanical tests and fracture simulation using finite element modeling represent powerful approaches to determine the failure conditions. By applying both methods, researchers significantly reduce the time needed to find fracture conditions with high accuracy.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue devoted to the experimental investigations or simulation of the fracture of metallic materials. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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.
