Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Virtual prototyping techniques, generally based on numerical methods, are widely used in the design process of an industrial product. Over the last few decades, the demand for strong improvement in terms of productivity and reliability, accompanied by cost reduction requirements, have been fundamental considerations in the design, often requiring more than one simultaneously occurring physical fields (thermal, mechanical, electrical, metallurgical, etc.) to be taken into account. At present, a huge number of commercial codes have been developed to perform multiphysics simulations; nevertheless, the bottleneck to obtain reliable results is generally constituted by the availability of a suitable material model. The Special Issue is thus aimed at investigating metallic material modeling techniques for virtual prototypes with emphasis on both the theoretical basis and the experimental identification and verification. Special attention is addressed to simulation issues in metal forming and other metal processing technologies, in cyclic plasticity and thermal fatigue, in MEMs operation and soldering, in thermo-electro-mechanical modeling of electric vehicles components such as batteries, electric motors, electronics, and in any other topics where material modeling constitutes a crucial aspect to achieve a dependable virtual prototype.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect papers providing state-of-the-art knowledge on material modeling for multiphysics simulations. Researchers are encouraged to submit research as well as review papers on specific aspects of the proposed subject or also to describe applications in which the above-mentioned topics are applied to relevant engineering case studies.

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.
