Journals in Engineering and technology
The Engineering and Technology portfolio includes comprehensive overviews of all major research and practical developments in aerospace and automotive engineering, civil and environmental engineering, mechanical and industrial engineering, materials engineering, electrical engineering, communications engineering, and more. In-depth coverage, innovative state-of-the-art approaches, and real-world case studies provide valuable, actionable insights for researchers, applied engineers and students. The content in Elsevier's Engineering and Technology books program addresses core issues in industry and society, such as sustainability, the circular economy, AI, and automation.
Advanced Engineering Informatics
The science of supporting knowledge-intensive activitiesAdvanced computing methods and related technologies are changing the way engineers interact with the information infrastructure. Explicit knowledge representation formalisms and new reasoning techniques are no longer the sole territory of computer science. For knowledge-intensive tasks in engineering, a new philosophy and body of knowledge called Engineering Informatics is emerging.Advanced Engineering Informatics solicits research papers with particular emphases both on 'knowledge' and 'engineering applications'. As an international Journal, original papers typically:• Report progress in the engineering discipline of applying methods of engineering informatics. • Have engineering relevance and help provide the scientific base to make engineering decision-making more reliable, spontaneous and creative. • Contain novel research that demonstrates the science of supporting knowledge-intensive engineering tasks. • Validate the generality, power and scalability of new methods through vigorous evaluation, preferably both qualitatively and quantitatively.In addition, the Journal welcomes high quality review articles that summarise, compare, and evaluate methodologies and representations that are proposed for the field of engineering informatics. Similarly, summaries and comparisons of full-scale applications are welcomed, particularly those where scientific shortcomings have hindered success. Typically, such papers have expanded literature reviews and discussion of findings that reflect mastery of the current body of knowledge and propose novel additions to contemporary research.Papers missing explicit representation and use of knowledge, such as those describing soft computing techniques, mathematical optimization methods, pattern recognition techniques, and numerical computation methods, do not normally qualify for publication in the Journal. Papers must illustrate contributions using examples of automating and supporting knowledge intensive tasks in artifacts-centered engineering fields such as mechanical, manufacturing, architecture, civil, electrical, transportation, environmental, and chemical engineering. Papers that report application of an established method to a new engineering subdomain will qualify only if they convincingly demonstrate noteworthy new power, generality or scalability in comparison with previously reported validation results. Finally, papers that discuss software engineering issues only are not in the scope of this journal.- ISSN: 1474-0346
Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing
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. The range of applicable topics includes the properties, design and manufacture of reinforcing fibres 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 sustainable and economic aspects of composites. 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.Review articles are welcome. If you want to submit a review please discuss a topic with the Editor by sending a copy of the abstract for approval before submitting a review paper.- ISSN: 1359-835X
Engineering Fracture Mechanics
Published in Affiliation with the European Structural Integrity SocietyEFM 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-computat... studies yielding results with direct engineering significance.EFM is committed to publishing research content that supports and advances the energy transition and the reduction of CO2 emissions. In light of this and in response to market changes, we have decided to decline research papers on the topic of fossil fuels.- ISSN: 0013-7944
International Journal of Fatigue
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:Microstruct... 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;Under... 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-mech... 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.- ISSN: 0142-1123
