Description:
The
International Journal of Solids and Structures has as its objective the publication and dissemination of original research
in
Mechanics of
Solids and
Structures as a field of Applied Science and Engineering. It fosters thus the exchange
of ideas among workers in different parts of the world and also among workers who emphasize different aspects of the foundations and
applications of the field.
Standing as it does at the cross-roads of Materials Science, Life Sciences, Mathematics, Physics and Engineering
Design, the Mechanics of Solids and Structures is experiencing considerable growth as a result of recent technological advances. The
Journal, by providing an international medium of communication, is encouraging this growth and is encompassing all aspects of the field
from the more classical problems of structural analysis to mechanics of solids continually interacting with other media and including
fracture,
flow,
wave propagation,
heat transfer,
thermal effects in solids,
optimum design
methods,
model analysis,
structural topology and
numerical techniques. Interest extends to both inorganic and organic
solids and structures.
The emphasis is placed on contributions, analytical, experimental and numerical, which appear to be of permanent
interest to research workers and engineers in the field. If furthering knowledge in the area of principal concern of the Journal, papers
of primary interest to the constitutive disciplines of Materials Science, Mathematics, Physics and Engineering Design may be published.
Papers which are merely illustrations of established principles and procedures, even though possibly containing new numerical or experimental
data, will generally not be published.
When outstanding advances are made in existing areas or when new areas have been developed
to a definitive stage, special review articles will be considered by the
Editors.
No length limitations for contributions are set, but only concisely written papers are published. Brief articles are
considered on the basis of technical merit. Discussions of previously published papers are welcome.
