Progress in Nuclear Energy
Progress in Nuclear Energy is an international review journal covering all aspects of nuclear science and engineering especially applicable to nuclear energy. In keeping with the maturity of nuclear fission power, articles on various technical aspects of nuclear power plants including safety, siting and environmental issues are encouraged, as are those associated with economics, public policy, and fuel management. However, studies of new physics phenomena and engineering design and analysis tools and innovations will remain an important aspect of the journal's scope. Articles published in Progress in Nuclear Energy are either of a review nature or present new material in more depth. They are aimed at researchers and technically oriented managers working in the nuclear energy field.Please note the following: PNE seeks high quality innovative research papers which are medium to long in length. Short research papers should be submitted to the journal Annals of Nuclear Energy.PNE reserves the right to reject papers which are based solely on routine application of computer codes used to produce reactor designs or reproduce known reactor phenomena. Such papers, although worthy, are best left as laboratory reports. Progress in Nuclear Energy seeks papers which are original, expand knowledge in the field, and are archival in nature, in the fields of mathematical, computational, and experimental nuclear technology, including fission, fusion devices' blanket physics and radiation damage, safety, materials aspects, economics, Nuclear Cogeneration (where the emphasis for this journal must be focused on the nuclear power aspects of cogeneration, not the various applications of the nuclear-generated energy) etc.Review papers, which may occasionally be invited, are particularly sought by the journal in these fields, but may also be proposed by experts in the field by contacting one of the Editors.This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action)- ISSN: 0149-1970
International Journal of Solids and Structures
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, the physical Sciences, insightful Mathematics, and advanced Engineering, the Mechanics of Solids and Structures is experiencing considerable growth, in part as a result of recent technological advances. The Journal, an international medium of communication, encourages and fosters this growth by encompassing articles in all branches of fields that use mechanics to solve problems, ranging from fundamental physical, mathematical, and numerical aspects to the more applied. We aim always for the new, novel and original, substantive, inventive and enduring. Problems in linear and nonlinear material behavior and failure and on the response and failure of structures form the backbone of the journal covering both traditional and more modern aspects: included are inelastic material and structural behavior, instability and localization in solids and structures, mechanics of soft and biological materials and structures, micro- and nano-mechanics, architected and lattice structures, smart materials and structures, and multi-physics problems. Works in related fields such as heat transfer, wave propagation, modal analysis, optimization, concrete and geological materials, and the development of numerical methods are now supported by dedicated journals, but will be considered provided they are of broad interest and represent significant progress. Articles that make intelligent and insightful use of AI to enhance or supplement, but not replace, the laws of physics will be welcome.Emphasis is placed on contributions, analytical, experimental and numerical, which appear to be of permanent interest to research workers and engineers in the field. Papers that are merely illustrations of established principles and procedures, or either design oriented or geometry-specific, 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.We expect submitted articles to be authored by the researchers themselves. While the use of Generative AI tools like ChatGPT is permitted to enhance the readability and language of the manuscript, it must be clearly declared in a statement at the end of the manuscript upon initial submission. Papers that do not meet this requirement will not be considered and may be returned without review.https://www.s...- ISSN: 0020-7683
