Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the high demand for the virtual design of structures and the fast adoption of concepts, such as the digital twin by automotive and aerospace industries, has led to a significant increase in the integrated computational materials engineering of metallic materials. While the finite element method (FEM) is the dominant numerical technique that is widely used for simulating the mechanical behavior of metals across different length scales, several challenges must still be addressed in response to this growing demand.
This Special Issue aims to present the latest advances in the application of FEM for modeling metallic materials, including novel algorithmic aspects (microstructure reconstruction, image-based mesh generation, stabilized techniques, etc.) and new constitutive models (plasticity, fatigue, crystal plasticity, etc.). For this Special Issue, we are seeking original works on modeling a wide range of metallic materials across different length scales, ranging from high-strength steels to light-weight metals and from various alloys to metallic composites. These modeling efforts could focus on a variety of applications, including, but not limited to, additive manufacturing, forming, welding and joining, metallic biomaterials, corrosion, and high-temperature applications. We also encourage the submission of research articles that integrate FEM and machine-learning algorithms into the analysis and design of metallic material and metal composites.

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. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
