Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plastic deformation of metals is the basis for the realization of many components in different industry (automotive, aerospace, and biomedical) and an integral element of mechanical engineering. However, plastic deformation knowledge is also important for the understanding of certain failure mechanisms, e.g., creep.
Crystal plasticity theory was recognized as valuable in elucidating mechanisms of plastic deformation of crystalline metals at the beginning of the previous century, but this theory has been extended since and used to consider other factors, such as the size effect and dislocations.
Furthermore, crystal plasticity models today are used extensively in understanding and forecasting the microstructure evolution for polycrystalline metals. In addition, the availability of accurate instruments for the measure of the texture and texture evolution in this kind of metals allows an in-depth study of the subject of this issue.
The importance of the topics proposed for this Special Issue is evidenced by the steadily growing number of articles on crystallographic plane deformation in mainstream international journals over the past few years, and we hope that you will make further important contributions to this field through your high-quality research articles, communications, and reviews.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit your manuscript to this Special Issue.
Dr. Silvia Barella
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.
