Sponsored by CISM, International Centre for Mechanical SciencesMechanics Research Communications publishes, as rapidly as possible, peer-reviewed manuscripts of high standards but restricted length. Complete articles are now permitted to be NINE pages in length (including figures, tables, and references). It aims to provide:• a fast means of communication • an exchange of ideas among workers in mechanics • an effective method of bringing new results quickly to the public • an informal vehicle for the discussion • of ideas that may still be in the formative stagesThe field of Mechanics will be understood to encompass the behavior of continua, fluids, solids, particles and their mixtures. Submissions must contain a strong, novel contribution to the field of mechanics, and ideally should be focused on current issues in the field involving theoretical, experimental and/or applied research, preferably within the broad expertise encompassed by the Board of Associate Editors. Deviations from these areas should be discussed in advance with the Editor-in-Chief.

Mechanics of Materials

• ISSN: 0167-6636
• 5 Year impact factor: 3.5
• Impact factor: 3.4

Forum for original scientific research on the flow, fracture, and general constitutive behavior of advanced technological and natural materialsMechanics of Materials, a journal in the field of solid mechanics and materials, aims to disseminate research work in the broad spectrum of engineering and natural materials. It reports research with a mechanically oriented description of substructures from nano- to macro-scales encompassing spatio-temporal behaviors, material instabilities, damage and fracture mechanisms, and interactions between mechanics and multiphysics phenomena including electricity, magnetism, 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 topics covered by the journal include: Thermo-mechanical constitutive response of metals, polymers, soft materials, bio-materials, natural and geo 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 propose advances in combined experimental/computational/analytical approaches in the above fields are of particular interest.

Scripta Materialia

• ISSN: 1359-6462
• 5 Year impact factor: 5.7
• Impact factor: 5.3

Scripta Materialia is a LETTERS journal of Acta Materialia, providing a forum for the rapid publication of short communications on the relationship between the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. The scope and aims of Scripta Materialia are identical to Acta MaterialiaScripta Materialia prioritizes papers that significantly move the field forward, advancing the thinking in the field and providing mechanistic processing-structure-property connections. Explorations of such connections by experiment, computation, theory, data science, and machine learning are all welcome; studies that connect across theory, computation, and experiment through mechanistic means are especially relevant. Materials structure at all scales is of interest, from electronic, atomic, and molecular arrangements to microstructural elements, including crystal defects, polycrystalline and polyphase structures, and spanning to macrostructures formed by processing that impact properties and performance. The connection of these structural features to all kinds of properties is of interest, including mechanical and functional properties, thermodynamics and kinetics, phase transformations, etc. In addition to original contributions, Scripta Materialia publishes comments on papers published in Acta Materialia and Scripta Materialia. The journal also publishes Viewpoints, which are invited short articles focused on topics of current interest within the scope of the journal and coordinated by invited guest editors.

Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics

• ISSN: 0167-8442
• 5 Year impact factor: 4.6
• Impact factor: 5

Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics covers both the theoretical, applied, and numerical aspects associated with cracking related phenomena taking place, at a micro-, meso-, and macroscopic level, in materials/components/structures of any kind.The Journal aims to cover the cracking/mechanical behaviour of materials/components/structures in those situations involving both time-independent and time-dependent systems of external forces/moments (such as, for instance, quasi-static, impulsive, impact, blasting, creep, contact, and fatigue loading). Since, under the above circumstances, the mechanical behaviour of cracked materials/components/structures is also affected by the environmental conditions, the Journal considers also those theoretical/experimental research works investigating the effect of external variables such as, for instance, the effect of corrosive environments as well as of high/low-temperature. The Journal also considers technical articles assessing the cracking behaviour of new materials used in modern and alternative applications, i.e., not only strictly related to engineering. Further, the most advanced technological findings in the surface engineering field are seen to strongly influence the cracking/mechanical behaviour of materials. Accordingly, technical articles investigating, both from a theoretical and an experimental point of view, the existing interactions between the above aspects and the material cracking behaviour are considered for publication.The modelling of the phenomena of interest for the Journal can be based on the conventional linear-elastic/elasto-plastic fracture mechanics concepts as well as on novel (or emerging) theories. The Journal is keen to publish new/alternative modelling/design approaches, provided that such innovative theories are soundly based on the state-of-the-art knowledge and, when possible, validated through appropriate experimental results. In more general terms, cracks act as stress/strain concentrators. Accordingly, the Journal is very keen to consider for publication also those studies investigating the effect on the mechanical behaviour of materials/components/structures of different kinds of stress/strain concentrators such as defects, microstructural in-homogeneities, and, above all, notches of any kind. In more detail, one of the new features of Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics is releasing regular issues addressing, in a systematic way, the notch mechanics problem.The increasing computational power of modern computers is strongly encouraging the scientific community to develop novel methodologies suitable for modelling the mechanical behaviour of materials/components/structures containing any kind of stress/strain concentrators (i.e., not only cracks and notches, but also defects and microstructural in-homogeneities). Accordingly, Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics aims to publish, through regular issues fully focussed on computational mechanics, also those technical articles addressing the theoretical/computational aspects leading to an efficient and accurate modelling of the behaviour, at a micro-, meso-, and macroscopic level, of materials and structures containing stress/strain raisers of any kind.Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics is organised according to the following topical issues:1. Miscellany of technical articles fully meeting this aims and scope; 2. Technical articles investigating the notch mechanics field; 3. Technical articles devoted to the computational mechanics aspects; 4. Themed threads, guest-edited by experts, where the themes of interest could not necessarily be addressed in a single issue: this would create a string of issues showing, over years, the progresses made in a specific area of the fracture/notch/computational mechanics discipline.
