Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims at collecting a series of articles devoted to the study of the fatigue strength and fracture behavior of structural metallic materials subjected to low-cycle-fatigue loadings. The interest encompasses traditional structural alloys, innovative metallic materials as well as advanced manufacturing processes able to improve the fatigue strength and fracture behavior. The focus is laid on metallic materials performing in the low-cycle-fatigue regime, as in those engineering applications characterized by high loading levels and elasto-plastic strains, including constant amplitude, variable amplitude, and spectrum loading.
The Special Issue is open to research and review papers aimed at providing state-of-the-art knowledge on the topic of low-cycle fatigue and fracture behavior for both traditional and innovative metallic alloys and structural components. Emphasis will be given to experimental results, numerical approaches, and analytical design concepts. Researchers are encouraged to submit papers focusing on specific aspects of the low-cycle fatigue and fracture behavior of metallic materials or describing applications and engineering case studies in the field of structural integrity.

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.
