Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Curiosity is the feature of humankind that pushes us to new unknown places; it causes a desire to learn unknown things. To meet these requirements and be able to break the limits, engineers and scientists design devices and machines to facilitate the conducting of research. Knowledge of materials, in particular fatigue and fracture mechanism, is necessary, and can be obtained from experiments. One of the main goals of materials research is to understand the nature of the behavior of materials subjected to various types of loads.
Understanding the phenomena of failure allows scientists to improve mechanical properties using new manufacturing technologies, or by inventing new materials that meet the desired requirements. One of the broadest class of structural materials is the metallic materials group. These materials are of great interest to science, especially because of their applications, and permanently expands the spectrum of scientific research into the processes of fatigue failure mechanisms.
The Special Issue is devoted to the development of experimental and theoretical methods of evaluation and description behavior of metallic materials subjected to fatigue loads, including but not limited to, the following topics:
- Uniaxial and multiaxial fatigue
- Damage mechanics
- Fatigue crack growth
- Mixed-mode fracture
- Fatigue life assessment
- Failure analysis
- Metal composites
It is a pleasure to invite you to submit your research article to the Special Issue.
Dr. Zbigniew Marciniak

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 2300 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.
