Analysis and Prediction of Mechanical Properties of Metallic Materials under Extreme Environment

Dear Colleagues,

Mechanical properties of metallic materials under extreme environments are crucial for evaluation of metallic materials performance in several areas such as nuclear reactors, space applications and weapons technologies, etc. Investigations of mechanical properties under such extreme environments have relied heavily on experimental testings and post-testing analyses. Emergence of new testing and characterization techniques have opened new opportunities to deepen our understandings of these mechanical properties and metallic materials behaviors. In addition, modeling and prediction of the evolution of mechanical properties in such off-equilibrium and dynamic processes require extensive knowledge on metallic materials behaviors in equilibrium processes, exquisite simulation techniques involving different length-scales and time-scales, and solid computational platforms coupling these techniques in an effective way.

This special issue focuses on clarifying the evolution of mechanical properties of metallic materials under extreme environments with either experimental techniques or their computational counterparts or them combined. Your contribution to this 2022 special issue is highly valuable and appreciated. We invite you to contribute research work that studies the evolution of mechanical properties and metallic materials behaviors under extreme environments which may eventually lead to the prediction of metallic materials performance and failure mechanisms.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
