Description:
Engineering Failure Analysis publishes original, high quality research papers, communications, and occasional review articles
describing the
analysis of
engineering failures and related studies.
Papers relating to the structure, properties and
behaviour of
engineering materials are encouraged, particularly those which also involve the detailed application of
materials
parameters to problems in engineering structures, components and design. In addition to the area of
materials engineering,
the interacting fields of mechanical, manufacturing, aeronautical, civil, chemical, corrosion and design engineering are considered relevant.
Activity should be directed at analysing engineering failures and carrying out research to help reduce the incidences of failures and
to extend the operating horizons of engineering materials.
Emphasis is placed on the
mechanical properties of materials and
their behaviour when influenced by
structure,
process and
environment. Metallic, polymeric, ceramic and natural
materials are all included and the application of these materials to real engineering situations should be emphasised. The use of a case-study
based approach is also encouraged.
Engineering Failure Analysis provides essential reference material and critical feedback
into the design process thereby contributing to the prevention of engineering failures in the future. All submissions will be subject
to peer review from leading experts in the field.
