About the journal
Smart Materials and Structures (SMS) is a multi-disciplinary journal that explores the creation and utilization of novel forms of transduction. It is a leading journal in the area of smart materials and structures, publishing the most important results from different regions of the world, largely from Asia, Europe and North America. The results may be as disparate as the development of new materials and active composite systems, derived using theoretical predictions to complex structural systems, which generate new capabilities by incorporating enabling new smart material transducers. The theoretical predictions are usually accompanied with experimental verification, characterizing the performance of new structures and devices. These systems are examined from the nanoscale to the macroscopic. The Editor-in-Chief, Professor Ephrahim Garcia (Cornell University) has assembled a cadre of Associate Editors who are experts in a multitude of areas, ensuring that reviews are fast, fair and performed by experts in all sub-disciplines of smart materials, systems and structures.

Subject coverage
A smart material is defined as any material that is capable of being controlled such that its response and properties change under a stimulus. A smart structure or system is capable of reacting to stimuli or the environment in a prescribed manner. Smart Materials and Structures is committed to understanding, expanding and dissemination of knowledge in this subject matter. To this end, the Journal will consider articles in the following areas:
- Smart materials development and application—including, but not limited to, shape memory alloys and polymers, electro and magnetorheological materials, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, piezomagnetics, electro and magnetostrictive materials, thermoelectrics, photovoltaics, electro and magnetocaloric materials, electrochromics, IPMCs, electroactive polymers, energy storage materials, ferroelectrics, self-healing materials and multifunctional materials in general.
- Smart materials utilized as sensors and actuators with applications at any scale.
- Adaptive structural systems, actively controlled structures with smart materials and other non-traditional actuators.
- Sensor and sensor networks for smart materials and structure applications, processing of sensor information for adaptive control or structural health monitoring as well as integration of these sensor networks into materials and structures.
- Smart optical materials for modification in spectral shifts and refractive index shift.
- Structural health monitoring with applications to ground vehicles, aircraft and civil infrastructure.
- Intelligent systems, integrated with sensors, actuators and controllers, applied to automation and robotic systems that utilize smart material systems.
- Energy harvesting systems including modelling, applications and implementation issues.
- Smart material systems that utilize biomimetics and bioinspiration.
Article Types
Fast Track Communications
(Not normally more than 5400 words* or 6 journal pages.) These articles should be short, urgent announcements reporting new and timely developments in the field. They should be of importance to readers of Smart Materials and Structures and are not expected to meet any requirement of 'general interest'. They are processed quickly and made freely available to readers of the electronic journal. They are published at the front of the journal. To facilitate a fast review process authors must keep their articles short and provide a written justification to the Editors explaining how their article meets the criteria of a Fast Track Communication and why it should benefit from accelerated publication.
Research Papers
Reports of original research work; not normally more than 9000 words* (10 journal pages).
Technical Notes
(Not normally more than 7200 words* or 8 journal pages.) These are technical communications containing material typically insufficient for publication as a full scientific article but revealing new technical procedures. A Technical Note should be sufficiently detailed and in-depth to further the technical know-how of the community and help the development of novel devices.
Topical Reviews
A review article should discuss the current state of research in a selected field, and also include a general overview and an introduction with enough basic information to make the article interesting and informative for non-specialists. These are intended to summarize accepted practice and report on recent progress. They do not have to be fully comprehensive and should be about 12 000-18 000 words long*. Such articles are generally commissioned by the Editorial Board.
