Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coupled problems are extremely complex, even more so when different materials and damage are involved. This is the case with thermal barrier coatings, where a brittle and porous coating is deposited in a metallic substrate. The interface damage that produces spalling, the orthogonal cracks that increase thermal conductivity or chemical reactions, are only a few examples of the complexity achieved by the thermal barrier coatings during their service life. The industrial interest of the thermal barrier coatings, in their different configurations, is pushing the research of this complex topic. This Special Issue is focused on aerospace structures, but any other industrial application of high interest is welcome.
The Special Issue aims to cover any approach to the problem. Both experimental results and numerical models will be considered for publication, as well as any scales considered in the study.
It is a pleasure for me to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.
Dr. Luis Saucedo-Mora
Guest Editor
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.
