Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
You are invited to contribute to this upcoming Special Issue of Metals, entitled “Mechanical Structure Damage of Metallic Materials”. This Special Issue aims to compile articles focused on theoretical and experimental research progress in the static and fatigue damage of metallic materials and mechanical structures, with potential topics ranging from the damage evolution to performance optimization of metallic materials and mechanical structures.
In the field of industrial equipment, the damage evolution and performance optimization of materials and mechanical structures are the core issues for ensuring equipment reliability and extending service life. With the rapid development of materials science, computational mechanics, and intelligent monitoring technology, how to accurately diagnose structural damage, reveal failure mechanisms, and improve performance through multi-scale optimization design have become the focuses of common concerns in both the academic and engineering fields. We focus on theoretical methods and technologies related to the damage mechanism of mechanical structures, life prediction methods, and structural performance optimization and encourage interdisciplinary exchanges of recent achievements. Our goal is to provide theoretical support and technical solutions for mechanical equipment in fields such as aerospace, energy equipment, and rail transportation.
We look forward to receiving your contributions to this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Guoqin Sun
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. 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.
