Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue seeks to delve into the advanced study of how aerospace-grade metals withstand the unique stresses and environmental conditions encountered during flight and space missions. Aerospace materials are required to perform reliably under high fatigue and immense pressures, making it critically important to understand their failure mechanisms both for safety and technological advancement. We invite researchers to submit original research articles, reviews, and technical notes that explore the intricate behaviors of metals under cyclic stress and the subsequent onset of fractures. Topics of interest include microscopic and macroscopic failure analyses, stress and strain assessments, crack propagation studies, and the influence of environmental factors such as temperature and corrosion on a material’s performance. Contributions may also include innovative approaches to improving material design, predictive modeling of life expectancy, and new methodologies for detecting and analyzing material defects. This Special Issue aims to gather groundbreaking research that can contribute to safer, more efficient aerospace designs and operations.

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. Aerospace 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 2400 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.
