Published in Affiliation with the European Structural Integrity SocietyThe International Journal of Fatigue aims to publish high quality, original papers that provide new insights into the mechanisms governing fatigue of materials and structures. The emphasis during the evaluation process will be on potential impact of the work, in terms of new scientific findings and substantial advancements to the field.The following aspects of existing engineering materials and structures, as well as newly emerging materials and structures, are of particular interest:Microstructural sensitive aspects of fatigue crack initiation and growth, including ties to manufacturing processing and defect structures;New, empirically motivated descriptive models or rigorous validation and uncertainty quantification of existing models and codes of practice, in both cases these should be based on large datasets, considering multiple materials and loading configurations;Understanding the influence of ?additive? manufacturing and processing route on fatigue performance, and embedding this understanding in more predictive schemes for mitigation and design against fatigue;New experimental findings, which either challenge existing models or are aligned with an extension of their application limits and the associated data pool;Fatigue analysis of materials and structures based on data science, including data mining, data fusion, and machine learning; andCombined and coupled behaviors that affect thermo-chemical-mechanical degradation processes under cyclic loading conditions, including environmental degradation, are also included in the scope of the journal.The International Journal of Fatigue encourages papers that identify new mechanisms that enhance the scientific understanding and associate predictions of fatigue, which may include novel fatigue testing and characterization methods, as well as advanced modeling. Papers that openly provide companion algorithms, models, tools, databases, range, and limits of validation are sought. Papers with insufficient novelty, providing test data without new scientific findings or performing routine case studies or finite element analyses, are discouraged.
Structural Materials: Properties, Microstructure and ProcessingMaterials 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.
Procedia Structural Integrity is an open access product focusing entirely on publishing full sets of conference proceedings, enabling fast, world-wide dissemination so that conference delegates can publish their papers in a dedicated online issue on ScienceDirect. Procedia Structural Integrity publishes conference proceedings organized by the European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS), by its Technical Committees or by the National Groups that are affiliated with ESIS, with an emphasis on all areas of Fracture, Fatigue and Structural Integrity. Conferences should be relevant to an international audience and cover timely topics.Copyright information For authors publishing in Procedia Structural Integrity, accepted manuscript will be governed by CC BY-NC-ND.
