Journal Guide

The main purpose of the Journal of Elasticity is to report original and significant discoveries in elasticity, in the form of full research papers, research notes and well-documented historical essays. Materials which will prove effective in teaching appear as classroom notes. The journal provides a forum for original contributions in the physical and mathematical science of solids and in the broader areas of mechanics, mechanics of materials, and engineering sciences that have a bearing on developments in elasticity. The Journal of Elasticity was founded in 1971 by Marvin Stippes.

Addressing the wide-ranging topic areas of energy generation, conversion and storage, the Journal disseminates technical information – peer-reviewed scholarly work, Research Papers, Technical Briefs, and feature articles – of permanent interest to the Journal’s readership. Emphasis is given to extraction of energy from subsurface natural resource, petroleum engineering, natural gas technology, fuel/waste/underground combustion, underground storage/disposal with injection wells, alternative energy sources, power (co-) generation, and (geo) thermal energy storage and conversion systems. Authors present results from R&D studies, experience with new technologies, overview analyses, and computing algorithms.

Providing top-quality, peer-reviewed research papers on contemporary issues of engineering materials and technology, the journal covers a broad spectrum of issues regarding experimental, computational and theoretical studies of mechanical properties of materials, as well as mechanics of materials issues in metals, polymers, ceramics, composites, biomaterials, and nanostructured materials. Important topics include, multiscale characterization, modeling and experiments; high-temperature creep, fatigue and fracture; elastic -plastic behavior; environmental effects on material response, constitutive relations, materials processing, and microstructure mechanical property relationships.

The Journal of Failure Analysis and Prevention (JFAP) is written for and read by individuals involved in failure analysis, materials scientists, and mechanical, manufacturing, aeronautical, civil, chemical, corrosion, and design engineers. The publication is unique in that it contains current news and technical articles, as well as archival peer-reviewed papers and reviews. JFAP provides information gathering techniques, technical analysis, and emerging tools that will assist failure analysis professionals in determining the cause of failures and eliminating failures in the future. Articles demonstrate the importance of failure analysis to product/performance improvements and industrial problem solving. JFAP is intended to be of interest to both the experienced and less experienced failure analysis practitioner with a focus on shared interest across the industries. Bi-monthly periodical for the failure analyst. Provides practical information for determining the cause of failures and eliminating future failures. Highlights information-gathering techniques, technical analysis and emerging tools to assist the future analyst. Peer-reviewed articles demonstrate the important of failure analysis, product/performance improvement and industrial problem solving. Written for the experienced and less experienced failure analysis practitioner.

The Journal of Fire Sciences is a leading, peer-reviewed international journal for the reporting of new and significant applied research within the fire safety science community. Its overall content is generally aimed toward the prevention and mitigation of the adverse effects of fires involving combustible materials. Contributors and subscribers alike represent countries from around the world.Published bimonthly, the Journal of Fire Sciences addresses essentially all scientific aspects and disciplines involved with fires whose consequences are considered detrimental to life and property.Topics, generally involving experimental or theoretical studies of fire initiation and growth, fire containment, fire threat to people and the environment and fire safety engineering, frequently include the following:· Measurement of fire properties of materials and products, including ignitability, heat release, smoke and combustion product generation.

The Journal of Fluids Engineering disseminates technical information in fluid mechanics of interest to researchers and designers in mechanical engineering. The majority of papers present original analytical, numerical or experimental results and physical interpretation of lasting scientific value. Other papers are devoted to the review of recent contributions to a topic, or the description of the methodology and/or the physical significance of an area that has recently matured.

The Journal of Fluids and Structures publishes original full-length papers, review articles and brief communications on any aspect of fluid–structure interaction and on the dynamics of systems related to such interactions: analytical, experimental, or computational. It is concerned with the fundamental mechanisms, as well as on specific applications of fluid–structure interactions and unsteady fluid dynamics. The journal promises speedy publication and special express processing of letters and brief communications.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
