The journal 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. The journal, encompasses all aspects of the field from the more classical problems of structural analysis to mechanics of solids continually interacting with other media, and including fracture, flow, wave propagation, heat transfer, thermal effects in solids, optimum design methods, model analysis, structural topology and numerical techniques.
Interest extends to both inorganic and organic solids and structures.
Engineering Fracture Mechanics is a journal designed to be of broad interest and use to both researchers and practitioners of fracture mechanics. Contributions are welcome which address the fracture behavior of conventional engineering material systems as well as newly emerging material systems, for example, those employed in electronic components. Contributions on developments in the areas of mechanics and materials science strongly related to fracture mechanics, fatigue process using the methods of fracture mechanics. Contributions which synthesize experimental and theoretical-computational studies yielding results with direct engineering significance.
