Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Symmetry is an inherent property in most natural and man-made materials which contributes to aerospace, naval, and automobile industries by constructing balanced mechanical systems. With the development of advanced functional materials, symmetry not only exists in the elastic–plastic stress distribution, but also in the coupling process of multi-physics, which proposes higher requirements for the research and design of mechanical properties. The goal of this Special Issue, entitled "Symmetry in Mechanical Behavior of Materials", is to report research on the mechanical behavior of advanced materials and to reveal data on symmetry mechanisms. Topics in this study may include (but are not limited to) advanced material mechanics, intelligent structural mechanics, multi-physics coupling, mechanical metamaterial, smart material structures, and related symmetry and properties.

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. Symmetry 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.
