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oriented or geometry-specific, even though possibly containing new numerical or experimental data, will generally not be published.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...

International Journal of Thermal Sciences

ISSN: 1290-0729
5 Year impact factor: 4.3
Impact factor: 4.9

Founded as Revue Générale de Thermique in 1962The International Journal of Thermal Sciences is devoted to the publication of original research papers concerned with fundamental studies on the physics of processes involving heat transfer and their coupling with mass transfer and/or fluid flow. The journal especially welcomes papers aiming at a better understanding of the coupling of local mechanisms and their interactions in larger scale systems.Papers submitted for publication may contain either experimental results, numerical simulations or discussions of models, and must present a significant scientific contribution.The fundamental subjects considered within the scope of the journal are:• Heat and relevant mass transfer at all scales (nano, micro and macro) and in all types of materials (heterogeneous, composites, biological,...) and fluid flow • Forced, natural or mixed convection in reactive or non-reactive media • Single or multi-phase fluid flow with or without phase change • Near-and far-field radiative heat transfer • Combined modes of heat transfer in complex systems (for example, plasmas, biological or geological systems,?) • Multiscale modelling.Manuscript... dedicated to stability analysis studies, or with developed codes, can be considered if their focus is on the physics of heat and mass transfer processes. Experimental validation for the actual problem or a related case is strongly encouraged. They are, however, outside the scope of our journal, if such papers are centered on mathematical developments.In all cases, the paper must present a physical discussion of the mathematical model and a clear justification of the underlying assumptions.Papers dedicated to applications in different fields of engineering or natural sciences may be considered provided that they analyze the coupling of heat transfer modes with other mechanisms and their influence on the system's behavior.The International Journal of Thermal Sciences will not accept papers with the following characteristics:• Studies which belong to already established specialized journals, such as computational techniques, combustion, thermodynamic cycles,? • Papers with purely descriptive or empirical content, • Mere applications of classical equations to complex fluids (e.g. colloidal suspensions) or to the complex combination of basic mechanisms (divided media, external forces,?) • Numerical simulations without a thorough validation of the code and convergence study, • Numerical results using commercial CFD codes, unless new insights into the physics of the process are presented. Even in such cases, experimental validation is mandatory for the actual problem. • Experimental reports without uncertainty analysis or presenting results without error margins, • Experimental or numerical studies which do not provide a physical interpretation of the observed behavior, • Studies presenting the global performance of industrial systems, • Papers on the characterization of materials, • Statistical techniques describing the process as a black box.Articles can be submitted in English or French. Before submitting a Review Article, the main author should contact one of the Editors-in-Chief.

Journal of Aerosol Science

ISSN: 0021-8502
5 Year impact factor: 3.7
Impact factor: 3.9

An International JournalFounded in 1970, the Journal of Aerosol Science is the first journal specifically devoted to publishing research on the behavior of suspensions of particles and droplets in a gas, i.e. aerosols. The editors and editorial advisory board consider it the prime vehicle for the publication of original work as well as reviews related to fundamental and applied aerosol research, including aerosol instrumentation. Its content is directed at scientists working in engineering disciplines, as well as physics, chemistry, and environmental sciences. Manuscripts can focus on topics of long-standing interest in aerosol science, as well as emerging areas of interest. Editorial decisions are made based on the perceived quality and thoroughness of the submission, fit within the scope categories noted below, and novelty of the work, but not based upon speculation of the work's short term impact (i.e. perceived number of citations). While the Journal of Aerosol Science does not have any length requirements for submissions, authors are strongly encouraged to make use of online supporting information to describe particularly detailed methods, and to present supplementary results and diagrams which aid readers in understanding the main narrative.The editors specifically welcome submissions of papers describing recent experimental, numerical, and theoretical research related to the following topics. In the cover letter accompanying each submission, authors should identify the single number-letter combination which best classifies their manuscript, and explain why it is a novel contribution in this topic area.1. Fundamental Aerosol Science: a. Transport and Deposition b. Nucleation, Condensation, & Evaporation c. Radiative Absorption and Emission d. Collision Dynamics: Coagulation, Aggregation, & Charging e. Cluster Science; Atomistic Modeling and Measurements f. Aerosolization: Fluidized Beds, Atomization and Spraysg. Resuspension h. Dusty Plasmas & Non-Equilibrium Aerosols i. Population Balance Modeling2. Applied Aerosol Science: a. Aerosol-based Synthesis & Manufacturing b. Control Technology & Filtration c. Lung Deposition & Aerosol Medicine d. Inhalation Toxicology e. Bioaerosols & Aerosol based Disease Transmission f. Nuclear Aerosols g. Industrial Emission h. Combustion (Soot) & High Temperature Aerosols i. Indoor Aerosols3. Instrumentation & Measurement Methods a. Mobility Analysis b. Mass Spectrometry c. Light Scattering and Spectroscopic Techniques d. Novel Inertial Separation Schemes e. Condensation Particle Counter Developments f. Single Particle Trapping Methods g. Improved Data Inversion; Machine Learning h. Low Cost Sensors & Measurement NetworksBeside originality, a very important criterion for acceptance of a submission is its ability to communicate conclusions of general relevance to a given field.There are topics which the journal specifically does not cover, due to adequate coverage in numerous other publications. The Journal of Aerosol Science is not intended to archive data such as environmental/ambien... monitoring measurements, unless new methodologies are involved or broadly relevant new conclusions for aerosol behavior are reached. Work on source apportionment, as well as global & regional climate modeling is better suited to journals with focuses on atmospheric chemistry and air quality. Routine applications of existing instruments and measurement approaches are not considered suitable for the journal. Work on instrumentation must demonstrate a significant advancement or novel implementation of the instrument or method in question. Manuscripts focusing on numerical case studies with widely available computational fluid dynamics software and built-in particle trajectory models are not appropriate for the Journal of Aerosol Science, unless the uniqueness and novelty of the approach employed is clearly evident. Numerical or analytical solutions to aerosol growth models must demonstrate that they are a significant advance over existing approaches and must not contain overly-simplified assumptions rendering them incapable of predicting the behavior of real aerosols.

Journal of Algebra

ISSN: 0021-8693
5 Year impact factor: 0.8
Impact factor: 0.8

The Journal of Algebra is a leading international journal and publishes papers that demonstrate high quality research results in algebra and related computational aspects. Only the very best and most interesting papers are to be considered for publication in the journal. With this in mind, it is important that the contribution offer a substantial result that will have a lasting effect upon the field. The journal also seeks work that presents innovative techniques that offer promising results for future research.The Computational Algebra SectionThe Computational Algebra section has been introduced to provide an appropriate forum for contributions which make use of computer calculations and to broaden the scope of the Journal.The following papers are particularly welcome in the Computational Algebra section of the Journal of Algebra: • Results obtained by computer calculations - to be suitable for publication such results must represent a major advance of mathematics. It is not sufficient to extend previous computations by means of higher computer power. Rather the contribution has to exhibit new methods and mathematical results to be accepted. • Classifications of specific algebraic structures (in form of tables, if appropriate), which are not easily obtained and are useful to the algebraic community. • Description and outcome of experiments, to put forward new conjectures, to support existing conjectures, or to give counter examples to existing conjectures. • Papers emphasizing the constructive aspect of algebra, such as description and analysis of new algorithms (not program listings, nor, in the first instance, discussions of software development issues), improvements and extensions of existing algorithms, description of computational methods which are not algorithms in the strict sense (since, e.g., they need not terminate). • Interactions between algebra and computer science, such as automatic structures, word problems and other decision problems in groups and semigroups, preferably, but not necessarily, with an emphasis on practicality, implementations, and performance of the related algorithms. • Contributions are welcome from all areas of algebra, including algebraic geometry or algebraic number theory, if the emphasis is on the algebraic aspects.Contribution... describing applications of algebraic results or methods, for example in coding theory, cryptography, or the algebraic theory of differential equations are highly welcome. An important general criterion for the publication of a paper in the Computational Algebra section is its emphasis on the constructive aspects.This journal has an Open Archive. All published items, including research articles, have unrestricted access and will remain permanently free to read and download 48 months after publication.

Journal of Alloys and Compounds

ISSN: 0925-8388
5 Year impact factor: 5.3
Impact factor: 5.8

An Interdisciplinary Journal of Materials Science and Solid–State Chemistry and PhysicsGeneral Perspective- The Journal of Alloys and Compounds is an international peer-reviewed medium that disseminates original work for the advance of the science of materials comprising compounds and alloys. Its great strength lies in the diversity of disciplines that the journal encompasses, drawing together results from materials science, physical metallurgy, solid-state chemistry, and condensed matter physics. The interdisciplinary nature of the journal is evident in many subject areas, including experimental and theoretical approaches to materials problems that require an active interplay between a variety of traditional and emerging scientific disciplines.- The Journal of Alloys and Compounds provides a unique international forum where materials scientists, chemists, and physicists present their results both to researchers in their own fields and to others active in related areas. The work published in the journal should comprise studies on synthesis and structure combined with investigations of chemical and physical properties of alloys and compounds, contributing to the development of areas of current scientific interests. Manuscripts submitted for publication should contain new experimental and/or theoretical results and their interpretation. Submissions of timely, authoritative, and comprehensive reviews commensurate with the scope of the journal require pre-approvals by the members of the Editorial Board that have relevant expertise.- The Journal of Alloys and Compounds does not consider topics on liquid alloys, steels, wear, creep, welding and joining, organic materials and polymers, coordination chemistry, ionic liquids, catalysis (unless combined with microstructural analysis and other materials properties), and biochemistry. Manuscripts describing only syntheses and characterization without any properties, devices and/or their performance, purely computational results (including CALPHAD) without sufficient experimental validation, or technical reports are out of the journal scope. The submission of articles related to technology of materials and materials processing is discouraged. First-principles calculations may only be considered if a material has already been proven in experiment, or if predictions have a clear potential to advance a dedicated application.
