eCM provides an interdisciplinary forum for publication of preclinical research in the musculoskeletal field (Trauma, Maxillofacial, Spine and Orthopaedics) and the cells and materials used in the replacement, repair or regeneration of these tissues.The clinical relevance of the work must be briefly mentioned within the abstract, and in more detail in the discussion.Poor abstracts which do not concisely cover the paper contents will not be sent for review. Incremental steps in research will not be entertained by eCM journal.Please CAREFULLY read the Instructions to Authors before submission to save early disappointment. It is highly recommended that a well prepared abstract is sent to the Editor-in-Chief before submission to see if the area or results would fit eCM journal.

The following topics are covered:
Mechanics of materials; thermodynamics; elasticity; plasticity; creep damage; fracture; composites and multiphase materials; micromechanics; structural mechanics; stability vibrations; wave propagation; robotics; contact; friction and wear; optimization, identification; the mechanics of rigid bodies; biomechanics.

European Journal of Wood and Wood Products reports on results from research and development for wood and wood products and their biological, chemical, physical as well as mechanical and technological properties, processing and uses. Subjects range from roundwood to wood based products, composite materials and timber constructions, with related jointing techniques. Moreover, it deals with wood as a chemical raw material and source of energy as well as with inter-disciplinary aspects of life-cycle-assessment and international markets. European Journal of Wood and Wood Products aims at furthering international scientific communication and technology transfer from research into practice.

This journal acts as a medium for the exchange of research in the area of macromolecular substances, both synthetic and natural, and publishes results bearing on the physics or chemistry of polymers. Papers may fall either into the category of original papers dealing with substances of high molecular weight, or that of review articles covering the literature on topical aspects of polymer science.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Experimental Mechanics, the official journal of the Society for Experimental Mechanics, publishes papers in all areas of the field, including its theoretical and computational analysis. The journal addresses research in design and implementation of novel or enhanced experiments to characterize materials, structures, and systems. Readers will also find articles extending the frontiers of experimental mechanics at both large and small scales. This journal’s coverage extends from research in solid and fluid mechanics to fields at the intersection of disciplines such as physics, chemistry, and biology. The development of new devices and technologies for metrology applications in a wide range of industrial sectors is also covered. In addition to primary research articles, Experimental Mechanics publishes review articles, brief technical notes, and applications articles that discuss important emerging technologies.

Experimental Techniques is a bimonthly interdisciplinary publication of the Society for Experimental Mechanics focusing on the development, application and tutorial of experimental mechanics techniques.The purpose for Experimental Techniques is to promote pedagogical, technical and practical advancements in experimental mechanics while supporting the Society's mission and commitment to interdisciplinary application, research and development, education, and active promotion of experimental methods to:- Increase the knowledge of physical phenomena- Further the understanding of the behavior of materials, structures, and systems- Provide the necessary physical observations necessary to improve and assess new analytical and computational approaches.Experimental Techniques accepts articles that focus on practical applications of experimental mechanics and innovative techniques used to create engineering solutions. This includes, but is not limited to, experimental observations and methods, analytical or computational methods linked to observations of physical phenomena, and non-deterministic analysis of experimental observations. The Editors encourage the submission of articles that describe approaches to education and training in experimental mechanics and structural dynamics.

EML publishes letter-sized articles, as well as invited reviews and articles on topics of special interest. The goal is to have the papers published online within 6-8 weeks upon submission.

EML covers experimental, theoretical, and computational mechanics of processes at all size and time scales. Of particular interest is the progress in mechanics that advances the fields of vital importance to the society, including, but not limited to, health science, energy systems, the environment, food and water, climate, and security.

Among the topical areas of interest are:

• Materials of extreme properties, such as exceptional hardness or softness
• Materials under extreme conditions, such as high temperature and high loading rate
