Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fatigue is defined as the modification of a material’s properties when cyclic loading is applied; this can generate the formation of cracks and lead to fracture. On the other hand, welding is a process that is used to weld similar and/or dissimilar metallic materials for the manufacture of machine components and structures, which are generally subjected to fatigue.
This Special Issue of Metals is devoted to publishing original work in terms of the fatigue of materials and welded joints. Assessments of low cycle, high cycle, and very high cycle fatigue approaches, including materials with and without welding, are invited. Papers based on experimental and numerical approaches are welcome.
