Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The phase-field fracture model, which is among smeared approaches for damage, has shown great potential in predicting arbitrary crack paths in solids. Nevertheless, further investigations are required to explore the features of this method, especially when it comes to a new generation of materials and new environments. In this Special Issue, we would like to invite you to share your findings in application of the PF fracture model in one or more of the following directions: modeling brittle, cohesive, and ductile fractures; fatigue and lifetime prediction; modeling of interphase; anisotropic and mixed-mode fracture in solids (e.g., architecture materials, fibre-reinforced composites, crystalline materials, etc.); and multiphysics environment (e.g., considering chemical reaction and/or thermal influence, martensite phase transformation, and hydraulic fracturing, etc.). Moreover, discussion on new multiscaling techniques, including the PF fracture; fundamental studies on the concept of internal length scale and experimental calibration of the model; and numerical treatment and implementations (novel solvers, machine learning techniques for speedup, etc.) are highly encouraged. Finally, qualitative, and quantitative comparisons of the PF fracture against other methodology, such as gradient extended damage models (GED), extended FEM, peridynamics, Eigenerosion, mixed FEM, etc. is of great interest.

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.
