Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As we continue to explore the frontiers of mechanical engineering, the challenge of understanding and improving the fatigue behavior of structural materials remains paramount. This Special Issue is dedicated to the comprehensive study of fatigue issues in engineering materials, with a focus on their behavior under multi-axial and complex loading conditions. We seek to publish original research and review articles that advance our understanding of fatigue phenomena, predict the lifespan of materials under fatigue, and improve the methods of fatigue damage assessment.
We invite contributions regarding a range of topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Fatigue problems of structural materials;
- Multi-axial fatigue of materials, and criteria for describing and predicting fatigue life;
- Experimental studies of modern materials, including those produced by additive manufacturing, as well as welded joints, FSW joints, and others;
- Numerical methods supporting experimental research in material fatigue;
- Assessment of fatigue damage under simple and complex states of loads for cyclic and random loadings.
This Special Issue aims to gather insights from experimental, theoretical, and applied research that contribute to the development of more durable and reliable materials. With the help of your expertise and research, we can make advances in the field, enhancing the design and optimization of materials used across various engineering applications.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Applied Sciences.
Best regards,
Dr. Robert Owsiński

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.
