About the journal
In the past two decades there has been considerable progress and significant advances made in the development of fundamental concepts of damage mechanics and their application to solve practical engineering problems. For instance, new concepts have been effectively applied to characterize creep damage, low and high cycle fatigue damage, creep-fatigue interaction, brittle/elastics damage, ductile plastic damage, straing softening, strain-rate-sensitivity damage, impact damage, and other physical phenomena. Materials investigated include polymers, composites, ceramics and metals.
The International Journal of Damage Mechanics provides an effective mechanism to accelerate dissemination of information on damage mechanics not only within the research community but also between the research laboratory and industrial design department. The journal promotes and contributes to development of the concept of damage mechanics.
Featuring original, peer-reviewed papers by leading specialists from around the world, the International Journal of Damage Mechanics covers new developments in the science and engineering of fracture and damage mechanics.
Topics include:
creep damage
low and high cycle fatigue damage ¡¤creep-fatigue interaction
brittle/elastic damage
ductile/plastic damage
strain softening
strain-rate sensitivity damage
impact damage
modelling and numerical simulation
Applications involving all engineering materials including metals, composites, polymers, ceramics and concrete.
Instructions to Authors
Submitting Papers to the Journal:
1. Electronic submission of the manuscript as a PDF or MS Word file attached to an email message sent to clchow@umich.edu is the desired format for submission of papers. Otherwise, four double-spaced hard copies and one electronic version (on a 3.5 in. disk or CD using Microsoft Word in an IBM/PC format) should be submitted to one of the four editors:
C. L. Chow,
Dept. of Mechanical Engineering,
University of Michigan-Dearborn,
Dearborn, MI 48128-1491, U.S.A.;
Dusan Krajcinovic,
Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering,
Arizona State University,
Tempe, AZ 85287-6106, U.S.A.;
J. L. Chaboche,
Office National d'Etudes et de Recherches Aerospatiales,
29, Avenue de la Division Leclerc,
92320 Chatillon (Hauts-de-Seine),
France;
or
S. Murakami,
Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering,
Aichi University of Technology,
Nishihazama-cho,
Gamagori-city, Aichi-prefecture,
443-0047, Japan.
Revised manuscripts should be resubmitted in final print and electronic versions.
2. Centred title should be brief, followed by centred name, affiliation, address, country, and postal code (zip) of author(s). Indicate to whom correspondence and proofs should be sent, including a telephone number, fax number and e-mail address.
3. Include a 300-word abstract.
4. Include a list of key words.
5. A list of five potential reviewers should be submitted to the Editor at the time of manuscript submission [optional].
6. ILLUSTRATIONS
-Computer generated graphics. Any art that is sent electronically should be in .tif files, in 300 dpi resolution, for superior reproduction. Colour original should be saved as greyscale images.
-Line Drawings. Originals should always be submitted. Wherever possible, graphs should be boxed in, and scale divisions should be marked on the inside of the boxes. Grids should not be shown. Insofar as possible, explanations should be placed in the legend. Original drawings should not be larger than 20x25 cm (8x10 in); if this is impossible, they must be accompanied by two sets of small photoprints. Measurements should be indicated in SI units.
-Lettering should be planned for 50% reduction; text must be readable after reduction.
-Photographs. Photographs should be supplied as glossy prints, and wherever possible, of the same size as they are to appear in the journal. Illustrations should be referred to as Figure 1, Figure 2, etc. The name(s) of the author(s) should be written on all illustrations, as should the Figure number. The indication 'Top' must be given, if necessary. Besides the original illustrations, one duplicate set must accompany each copy of the manuscript; these copies may be photoprints, if clear and legible.
-Text must be readable after reduction.
7. JOURNAL AND BOOK REFERENCES should be identified in the text as author-date. Literature references should be listed at the end of the manuscript, using following style:
Journal: Halpin, J. C. 1967. J. Cellular Plastics, 3:432-435
Book: Quellette, R. P. and P. N. Cheremisinoff. 1985. Applications in Biotechnology. Lancaster, PA: Technomic Publishing Co., Inc.
8. FIGURE, TABLE, EQUATION: spelled out in text, capitalized. Figure 1 Table 1 Equation (9)
9. TABLES. Number consecutively and type on a numbered, separate page.
Please use arabic numerals and supply a heading. Column headings should be explanatory and carry units (see example). Do not include vertical rules.
10. UNITS & ABBREVIATIONS. SI units should be used.
11. SYMBOLS. A list of symbols used and their meanings should be included if a
large number of symbols appears in the text.
12. PROOFREADING AND OFFPRINTS. Authors will receive page proofs, which
they should correct and return as soon as possible. An offprint order form for purchase of additional offprints will be provided. No free offprints can be provided; the correspondence author will receive one free copy of the journal for each contributor.
13. COPYRIGHT INFORMATION. All original journal articles are copyrighted in
the name of the publisher. All original articles accepted for publication must be accompanied by a signed copyright transfer agreement available from the journal editor or from the publisher's website. Previously copyrighted material may be published with the written permission of the copyright holder.
14. HEADINGS. Your article should be structured into sections. Normally two headings are used as follows:
Main Subhead: DESIGN OF A MICROWAVE INSTALLATION [all capital letters, centred]
Secondary Subhead: Principal of the Design Method [capitalize first letter of main words, left justified]
15. EQUATIONS. Number equations with arabic numbers enclosed in parentheses at the right-hand margin. Type superscripts and subscripts clearly above or below
the baseline, or mark them with a caret. Be sure that all symbols, letters, and numbers are distinguishable (e.g., 0 for zero, one or lowercase 'el', 'vee' or Greek
nu).
16. PERMISSIONS. The author is responsible for obtaining releases from other publishers for Sage Publications to publish material copyrighted by someone else.
