Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced material technologies promote innovative aerospace designs including, but not limited to, various load-carrying components, aero-engine systems, complex composites and metamaterials, thermal protection systems (TPSs), etc. These advanced materials are faced with harsh operation environments, including static, cyclic, and dynamic (vibration, acoustic, impact) mechanical loadings; high and low temperatures; high-strain-rate shock; and multi-physical fields. This Special Issue, Advanced Materials for Aerospace, is aimed at elucidating the preparation, property prediction, damage assessment, and multidisciplinary design of aerospace materials under operational environments. Various kinds of material types (metal and alloy, composites, metamaterials, etc.) at different scales (micro-, meso-, and macro-scales) are all included. Multi-physical effects on material properties are also of interest, such as the thermo-mechanical effect, etc.
This Special Issue will cover a wide range of topics related to aerospace material preparation and property analysis and design, including mechanical responses, fatigue and durability, damage and failure resistance, energy absorption (damping), acoustic properties, etc. High-fidelity numerical simulations, testing methods, and design optimization techniques can be introduced. We welcome original research articles, review articles, and case studies that address recent developments and challenges in these areas.
This Special Issue will feature innovative approaches to preparation analysis and property characterization and design with theoretical, experimental, or numerical investigations on the behaviours of advanced materials and also case studies on the application of advanced materials or techniques (modelling, testing, design, etc.) to improve aerospace safety (strength, stiffness, etc.) and functions (sealing, acoustic, wave absorption, etc.). We also welcome contributions that discuss the challenges and limitations in this field while proposing future research directions.

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.
