Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of advanced numerical methods with which to deal with fatigue and fracture phenomena, in the context of structural integrity of critical components, constitutes a challenging but promising area of clinical progress. Modern tools, developed through the use of the finite element method, extended finite element method, and meshless methods, among others, have demonstrated themselves to be viable alternatives to classical design concepts.
This Special Issue is focused on numerical methods and computational approaches to address fatigue and fracture problems. Researchers are encourages to submit examples of innovative and successful industrial applications, as well as nonconventional numerical approaches. Research and review papers are also welcome.

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.
