About the journal
Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures
|
The central aim of Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures is to promote the dissemination of significant developments and publish state-of-the-art reviews and technical discussions of previously published papers dealing with mechanics aspects of advanced materials and structures. Refereed contributions describing analytical, numerical and experimental methods and hybrid approaches that combine theoretical and experimental techniques in the study of advanced materials and structures will be published along with critical surveys of the literature and discussions of papers in the field. Contributions will range from new theories and formulations to analyses and novel applications. Emphasis will be placed on mechanics aspects and aspects at the interface of materials and mechanics issues. The journal will publish manuscripts dealing with the mechanics aspects (for example, the mechanical characterization, mathematical modeling, novel applications, and numerical simulation) of advanced materials and structures. Contributions may range from new methods to novel applications of existing methods to gain understanding of the material and/or structural behavior of new and advanced. Typical topic areas are: |
 |
Materials Adhesives, ceramics, metal-matrix composites, and polymer-based composites; processing and manufacturing of composite; actuator/sensor (smart) materials and electromagnetic materials; and damage and failure mechanisms in material.
Structures Basic structural elements such as beams, plates, and shells; structures with actuators/sensors (smart structures); active and passive control of structures; aerospace, automotive, and underwater structures; and adhesively bonded structures.
Methodologies Mathematical formulation of the kinematic, constitutive, and structural behavior of materials and structures; experimental methods directed toward mechanical characterization, damage evolution, and failures in materials and structures; computational methods for the solution of micro-, meso-, macro-mechanics mathematical models; methods dealing with the determination of local effects; and novel computational approaches for material and structural modeling of new and advanced materials.

Submission of Manuscripts
Three copies of the manuscript should be submitted to: Professor J. N. Reddy, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A & M University, College Station, TX 77843-3123, USA. If desired, submissions may be made to that member of the Advisory Editorial Board who, in the opinion of the author, is most closely concerned with the subject matter of the paper. The submission must include the contact author's name, e-mail and street address, and telephone and fax numbers. The Editor reserves the right to return the manuscript to the author without review. Authors are strongly encouraged to submit manuscripts on disk. The disk should be prepared using MS Word or WordPerfect and should be clearly labeled with the authors' names, file name, and software program. A hardcopy printout that exactly matches the disk must be supplied. Each manuscript must be accompanied by a statement that it has not been published elsewhere and that it has not been submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources and are required to sign an agreement for the transfer of copyright to the publisher. All accepted manuscripts, artwork, and photographs become the property of the publisher. Further instructions and an author template can be obtained from the journal's web page at www.taylorandfrancis.com. All parts of the manuscript should be typewritten, double-spaced, with margins of at least one inch on all sides. Number manuscript pages consecutively throughout the paper. The length must not exceed 20 pages. All titles should be as brief as possible, 6 to 12 words. Authors should also supply a short version of the title suitable for the running head, not exceeding 50 character spaces. Each article should be summarized in an abstract of not more that 100 words. Avoid abbreviations, diagrams, and reference to the text.
References
References to cited literature should be identified in the text in square brackets and grouped at the end of the paper in numerical order of appearance. Double-spaced typing must be used throughout. References should be styled and punctuated according to the following examples:

Always give inclusive page numbers for references to journal articles and a page range or chapter number for books. Each reference must be cited in the text.
Footnotes
Any footnotes of acknowledgment or author identification will appear on the opening page of the chapter. Text footnotes should be keyed with symbols ( ,¡ì, ) by page. Equations All mathematical equations should be carefully typewritten and checked so that a compositor can follow the copy easily. Equation numbers should be Arabic numerals enclosed in parentheses on the right-hand margin. They should be cited in the text as, for example, Eq. (10), or Eqs. (12)-(16).
Units
All manuscripts submitted for publication must use SI units throughout; however, English units may be included parenthetically.
Illustrations
Illustrations submitted (line drawings, halftones, photos, photomicrographs, etc.) should be clean originals or digital files. Digital files are recommended for highest quality reproduction and should follow these guidelines:
- 300 dpi or higher
- sized to fit on journal page
- EPS, TIFF, or PSD format only
- submitted as separate files, not embedded in text files
Tables and Figures
Tables and figures should not be embedded in the text, but should be included as separate sheets or files. A short descriptive title should appear above each table with a clear legend, and any footnotes suitably identified below. All units must be included. Figures should be completely labeled, taking into account necessary size reduction. Captions should be typed, double-spaced, on a separate sheet. All original figures should be clearly marked in pencil on the reverse side with the number, author's name, and top edge indicated.
Proofs
One set of page proofs is sent to the specified author. Proofs should be checked carefully and returned promptly.
Offprints
An offprint order form will accompany the proofs. It should be completed and returned with the proofs.
