About the journal
|
Engineering Failure Analysis publishes original, high quality research papers, communications, and occasional review articles describing the analysis of engineering failures and related studies.
Papers relating to the structure, properties and behaviour of engineering materials are encouraged, particularly those which also involve the detailed application of materials parameters to problems in engineering structures, components and design. In addition to the area of materials engineering, the interacting fields of mechanical, manufacturing, aeronautical, civil, chemical, corrosion and design engineering are considered relevant. Activity should be directed at analysing engineering failures and carrying out research to help reduce the incidences of failures and to extend the operating horizons of engineering materials.
Emphasis is placed on the mechanical properties of materials and their behaviour when influenced by structure, process and environment. Metallic, polymeric, ceramic and natural materials are all included and the application of these materials to real engineering situations should be emphasised. The use of a case-study based approach is also encouraged.
Engineering Failure Analysis provides essential reference material and critical feedback into the design process thereby contributing to the prevention of engineering failures in the future. All submissions will be subject to peer review from leading experts in the field. |

Short Overview
Submission of papers:
By Mail: Three copies of the manuscript accompanied by a covering letter should be sent to the submission address. Only after final acceptance does a disk/CD ROM need to be sent with the hardcopy.
Submission address:
Dr D.R.H. Jones
Department of Engineering
University of Cambridge
Trumpington Street
Cambridge
CB2 1PZ
UK
Submission language: English (Link to the Oxford English Dictionary http://dictionary.oed.com/entrance.dtl.)
Types of contributions: Original research papers, short communications and occasional reviews.
Corresponding author: Clearly indicate who is responsible for correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, including post-publication. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address. Full postal addresses must be given for all co-authors. Please consult a recent journal paper for style if possible.
Original material: Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the Publisher. A statement to this effect should be included in the covering letter which accompanies the manuscript.
Detailed instructions on manuscript preparation and artwork instructions can be found below. The editor reserves the right to return manuscripts that do not conform to the instructions for manuscript preparation and artwork instruction, as well as paper that do not fit the scope of the journal, prior to refereeing.

Manuscript Preparation:
General:
Editors reserve the right to adjust style to certain standards of uniformity. Original manuscripts are discarded one month after publication unless the Publisher is asked to return original material after use. An electronic copy of the manuscript on disk should accompany the final accepted version. Please use Word, Word Perfect or LaTeX files for the text of your manuscript. (For further information about LaTeX submission, please go to http://www.elsevier.com/locate/latex.)

Structure:
Follow this order when typing manuscripts: title, authors, affiliations, abstract, keywords, main text, acknowledgements, appendix, references, vitae, figure captions and then tables. (Do not import figures into the text - see Illustrations.) Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article and do not include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise.
Back to the contents list
Text Layout:
Use double spacing and wide (3 cm) margins. (Avoid full justification, i.e., do not use a constant right-hand margin.) Ensure that each new paragraph is clearly indicated. Present tables and figure legends on separate pages at the end of the manuscript. If possible, consult a recent issue of the journal to become familiar with layout and conventions. Number all pages consecutively, use 12 or 10 pt font size and standard fonts. Print the entire manuscript on one side of the paper only.

Corresponding author:
Clearly indicate who is responsible for correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, including post-publication. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address. Full postal addresses must be given for all co-authors. Please consult a recent journal paper for style if possible.
Back to the contents list
Abstract:
A self-contained abstract outlining in a single paragraph the aims, scope and conclusions of the paper must be supplied.
Back to the contents list
Keywords:
Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of five keywords taken from the list appearing at the back of each issue.
Back to the contents list
Symbols:
Mathematical symbols and formulae should be typed. Particular care should be exercised in identifying all symbols and in avoiding ambiguities. Distinction should be made between the number one and the letter l, and between zero and the letter O.
Back to the contents list
Units:
Follow internationally accepted rules and conventions: use the international system of units (SI). If other quantities are mentioned, give their equivalent in SI.
Back to the contents list
Maths:
Equation numbers should appear in parentheses and be numbered consecutively. All equation numbers must appear on the right-hand side of the equation and should be referred to within the text.
Back to the contents list
References:
All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript. In the text refer to references by a number in square brackets on the line (e.g. Since Cleland[1]), and the full reference should be given in a numerical list at the end of the paper. References should be given in the following form:
[1] Cleland JH. What does the pitting resistance equivalent really tell us? Engng Fract Anal 1996;3(1):65-9.
[2] Van Baars S. Failure of cohesive granular materials. Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Fracture, Sydney: 1997. Oxford: Pergamon; 1997. p. 917-26.
