Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing


publishes original research papers, review articles, case studies, short communications
and letters from a wide variety of sources dealing with all aspects of the science and
technology of composite materials, including fibrous and particulate reinforcements in
polymeric, metallic and ceramic matrices, and 'natural' composites such as wood and
biological materials. The range of applicable topics includes the properties, design
and manufacture of reinforcing fibers and particles, novel architectures and concepts,
multifunctional composites, advances in fabrication and processing of composite
materials and structures, manufacturing science, process modelling, experimental
mechanics, microstructural characterization of composites and their constituent
phases, interfaces in composites, new approaches to prediction and measurement of
mechanical, physical and chemical behaviour, and performance of composites in
service. Articles are also welcomed on economic and commercial aspects of the
applications of composites, design with composites and case studies. All articles are
subject to rigorous peer review to ensure they make an important and novel
contribution, and a high standard is set for both content and presentation. The Editors
aim to conduct the review procedure with the minimum of delay so that prompt
publication ensues.

2. Acta Mechanica Solida Sinica aims to become the best journal of solid
mechanics in China and a worldwide well-known one in the field of mechanics, by
providing original, perspective and even breakthrough theories and methods for the
research on solid mechanics.
The Journal is devoted to the publication of research papers in English in all fields of
solid-state mechanics and its related disciplines in science, technology and
engineering, with a balanced coverage on analytical, experimental, numerical and
applied investigations. Articles, Short Communications, Discussions on previously
published papers, and invitation-based Reviews are published bimonthly. The
maximum length of an article is 30 pages, including equations, figures and tables.

3. The aim of Composites Part B: Engineering is to provide a balance


between mechanics and materials science aspects, basic and applied research, and
high technology and high volume (low cost) composite development.

The Journal aims to provide a forum for the prompt publication of original research
on all areas of composites and nano-engineered materials, with emphasis being
placed on evaluation and modelling of engineering details and concepts. Basic
research papers are welcomed as well as proposals for review articles. Authors are
encouraged to discuss the issues relative to application in the short or long-term in
various areas, such as aerospace, automotive and other surface transportation,
infrastructure, ship-building, off-shore piping, and recreational products.

Current topics of interest to readers include durability, functionally gradient materials,


interfaces, interlaminar fracture, joints and adhesion, smart composites, textile
composites, thermoplastics, wave propagation, and non-destructive testing.

Composites Part B: Engineering ranks 7 out of 90 (top 8%) of all journals in


Engineering Multidisciplinary category © Thomson Reuters ISI Subject Category

4. Mechanics of Materials, a journal in the field of solid mechanics and materials,


aims to disseminate quality research work in the broad spectrum of engineering and
natural materials. It reports original research with a mechanically oriented description
of substructures from nano- to macro-scales encompassing time-dependent and time-
independent behaviors, material instabilities, damage and fracture mechanisms, and
interactions between mechanics and electricity, chemistry and optics. Particular
emphasis is placed on the inspection of strain rates, spatio-temporal scales, inception
of microstructural features and their evolution, and couplings between mechanics and
transport phenomena.

The journal also focusses on the thermo-mechanical constitutive response of metals,


polymers, soft materials, bio-materials, natural materials, ceramics, metallic glasses,
granular materials, composites, shape-memory alloys, nanostructured materials, etc.
Mechanics-based investigations on emerging areas such as 3D printing, additive
manufacturing, bio-inspired materials, 2D materials, e.g., graphene and thin films, are
encouraged. Articles that describe combined experimental/computational/analytical
approaches in the above fields are also of interest.

To foster interest and promote discussion among researchers on new mechanics


concepts or new material mechanisms, short articles which will undergo fast-track
review for rapid dissemination are solicited. Special issues on topical research areas
by guest editors, review articles and surveys by experts in emerging research fields
are also welcome upon approval by the editorial board.

5. Materials Science and Engineering A provides an international medium for


the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to the load-bearing
capacity of materials as influenced by their basic properties, processing history,
microstructure and operating environment. Appropriate submissions to Materials
Science and Engineering A should include scientific and/or engineering factors which
affect the microstructure - strength relationships of materials and report the changes
to mechanical behavior.

Please be advised that the Aims and Scope for the journal has recently been updated.
The journal will no longer consider or publish papers on concrete and cement-based
systems nor on polymeric and polymer-based materials. In addition, papers with an
emphasis on corrosion or wear are discouraged, unless they specifically address novel
mechanical behavior or related phenomena.

6. The International Journal of Impact Engineering, established in 1983


publishes original research findings related to the response of structures, components
and materials subjected to impact, blast and high-rate loading. Areas relevant to the
journal encompass the following general topics and those associated with them:
 Impact and failure of structures and materials under impact and blast loading
 Systems for protection and absorption of impact and blast loading
 Terminal ballistics
 Dynamic material behaviour and failure
 Stress waves
 Structural crashworthiness
 High-rate mechanical and forming processes
 Impact, blast and high-rate loading/measurement techniques and their
applications

Manuscripts submitted for publication will be subjected to stringent peer review and
assessed for their contribution to scientific understanding of phenomena and the
response of structures and materials to impact, blast and high-rate loading. Work
resulting in fundamental insights that benefit engineering design to accommodate
high-rate loading, is relevant to the journal. Well-designed and well-documented
experimental studies that advance knowledge in the response of materials and
structures subjected to impact, blast and high-rate loading are of relevance and
interest. However, they should be accompanied by analysis of the experimental
data and appropriate conclusions. The incorporation of analytical modelling
and/or numerical simulations to support the experimental findings, will enhance
the depth and quality of the research reported and make it more compelling.
Manuscripts that focus primarily on mathematics, materials science or computation,
with little contribution to the scope of impact dynamics described above, as well as
those of a purely descriptive nature lacking in analysis, will be declined. Papers
comprising largely parametric studies (e.g. using commercial software),
unaccompanied by convincing validation and discussion of implications or
applications of results generated, as well as those on novel computational techniques
without comparison with established analysis or test data, are also not
solicited. Papers that are essentially case studies or descriptions of designs
involving impact or blast loading, as well as dynamic testing which generates
copious experimental data without in-depth analysis, should seek publication in
journals more directly related to those particular areas.

7. Polymer Testing focuses on the testing, analysis and characterization of polymer


materials, including both synthetic and natural or biobased polymers. Novel testing
methods and the testing of novel polymeric materials in bulk, solution and dispersion
is covered. In addition, we welcome the submission of the testing of polymeric
materials for a wide range of applications and industrial products as well as nanoscale
characterization.

The scope includes but is not limited to the following main topics:
Novel testing methods and Chemical analysis
• mechanical, thermal, electrical, chemical, imaging, spectroscopy, scattering and
rheology
Physical properties and behaviour of novel polymer systems
• nanoscale properties, morphology, transport properties
Degradation and recycling of polymeric materials when combined with novel
testing or characterization methods
• degradation, biodegradation, ageing and fire retardancy
Modelling and Simulation work will be only considered when it is linked to new or
previously published experimental results.

8. The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite
materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering
circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible
an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for
construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates
knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in
structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite
materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and
development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication
techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for
assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to
complete composite structures.

9. Engineering Fracture Mechanics: EFM covers a broad range of topics in


fracture mechanics to be of interest and use to both researchers and practitioners.
Contributions are welcome which address the fracture behavior of conventional
engineering material systems as well as newly emerging material systems.
Contributions on developments in the areas of mechanics and materials science
strongly related to fracture mechanics are also welcome. Papers on fatigue are
welcome if they treat the fatigue process using the methods of fracture mechanics.
The Editors especially solicit contributions which synthesize experimental and
theoretical-computational studies yielding results with direct engineering significance.
