Special Issue Information
We are pleased to announce a
call for papers for a special issue focusing on "Advances in Fatigue and
Failure Analysis for Enhanced Component Durability in the Automotive
Industry". The automotive industry is in a period of transformative
change, facing growing demands for durable, lightweight, and highly reliable
components under increasingly diverse operating conditions. This special issue
aims to bring together cutting-edge research and practical insights that
advance the understanding of fatigue behavior and failure mechanisms in
automotive components and materials.
We invite original research
articles, review papers, and case studies that explore the latest innovations
in fatigue testing, simulation, failure prediction, and design optimization for
automotive applications. Submissions are encouraged from interdisciplinary
perspectives, covering but not limited to the following topics:
Advanced fatigue
testing methods: Innovations in testing techniques for materials and components
under real-world conditions, including multiaxial fatigue, high-cycle and
low-cycle fatigue, accelerated life testing, and non-proportional loading, etc.
Failure mechanisms
and root cause analysis: Investigation of the mechanisms driving fatigue and
failure in automotive components and materials, as well as methodologies for
failure prevention and reliability enhancement.
Predictive
modelling and simulation: Development of computational models and simulation
techniques for predicting fatigue life and failure risk in diverse loading
conditions.
Materials
and design optimization: Strategies to enhance the durability of automotive
components through novel material selection, alloy development, and component
design.
Environmental
and operational impacts on fatigue life: Examination of factors such as
manufacturing process, various driving manoeuvres, road roughness, and variable
load profiles in influencing fatigue and failure.
