Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As industries like aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and protective systems continue to push the boundaries of performance, the characterization of dynamic properties and impact resistance of advanced materials has become increasingly crucial, encompassing various aspects such as strain rate sensitivity, energy dissipation mechanisms, and failure thresholds, etc. This Special Issue aims to address the critical need to understand high-strain-rate behavior and impact tolerance in next-generation advanced materials. We invite original research advancing experimental, computational, and theoretical frameworks for advanced materials under dynamic loading conditions. Contributions should explore innovative material systems such as fiber-reinforced composites, architectured metamaterials, high-entropy alloys, and functionally graded structures. Key topics include the following: dynamic characterization, failure mechanisms, high-fidelity modeling, constitutive models, and design innovation. Review articles contextualizing recent advancements are also welcome. This collection aims to establish design paradigms for next-generation advanced materials while identifying emergent research frontiers.

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.
