Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fatigue failures are one of the most frequent damage phenomena whenever the structures are exposed to dynamic loading. This means that we cannot imagine the development of new products in energy conversion and distribution facilities, the transport industry, biomedical industry, construction industry, chemical processing industry, etc. without considering fatigue-based design. A tremendous number of research outcomes related to the fatigue of metallic materials was already published in the past. Despite the fact that polymers often replace metals in consumer products, fatigue-related topics for metallic materials remain an interesting research challenge. To further optimize engineering products and fully utilize the potential of new production technologies, an improvement of the existing fatigue design methods and development of new and innovative approaches for effective prediction of fatigue life are needed. This Special Issue is a good opportunity to present the current state of the art in the scientific field of metal fatigue. For this reason, I would like to invite all researchers dealing with fatigue-related phenomena of metallic materials to send a manuscript to this Special Issue of Metals.

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.
