About the journal
|
The aim of this journal is to provide ideas and information involving the use of the finite element method and its variants, both in scientific inquiry and in professional practice. The scope is intentionally broad, encompassing use of the finite element method in engineering as well as the pure and applied sciences. The emphasis of the journal will be the development and use of numerical procedures to solve practical problems, although contributions relating to the mathematical and theoretical foundations and computer implementation of numerical methods are likewise welcomed. Review articles presenting unbiased and comprehensive reviews of state-of-the-art topics will also be accommodated.
All submissions to FINEL will be peer reviewed, and must have archival value to be suitable for publication. Reflecting the aforementioned emphasis on solution of practical problems, numerical demonstration of proposed methodologies will generally be considered a necessary ingredient for papers appearing in FINEL. Conversely, applications of existing finite element techniques to widely studied problems will typically not be favorably considered for publication, except where such presentations are particularly novel or enlightening, either with respect to the results obtained or the method of application used.
The journal encompasses any field where numerical solution procedures for initial/boundary value problems are needed to meet design and analysis needs. Although the following list is not exhaustive, contributions are sought in structural mechanics, geomechanics, mechanical engineering, mechanics of materials, fluid mechanics, thermal sciences, hydrology, chemical engineering, biomechanics, electrical engineering, aero/astro engineering, and environmental engineering and science. In addition to contributions focused directly on numerical methodologies, submissions dealing with computer-aided engineering methods, parallel computing, optimal design strategies, mesh generation and post processing, code validation, experimental verification, and visualization are also solicited.

Instructions to Authors
General
Please submit your manuscript in threefold to one of the journal Editors. Submission of your manuscript is welcome provided that it, or any translation of it has not been copyrighted or published and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere. Upon acceptance of an article, the author(s) will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. Manuscripts should be prepared for publication in accordance with instructions given in the "Guide for Authors" (available from the Publisher) details of which are given below.
Type of contributions
The journal welcomes the following types of contributions:
Original research articles
Review articles, providing unbiased and comprehensive reviews on state-of-the-art scientific topics
To whom can I submit my manuscript?
Please submit your manuscript in threefold to one of the Journal's Editors:
Dr T A Laursen (Editor-in-Chief)
Finite Elements in Analysis and Design
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Duke University
Box 90287
Durham, NC27708-0287 U.S.A.
Tel.: + 919 660 5430 E.mail: laursen@duke.edu
Dr K Y Sze (Asia-Pacific Editor)
Department of Mechanical Engineering
The University of Hong Kong
Pokfulam Road
Hong Kong
Tel.: +852 2859 2637 E.mail:kysze@hku.hk
Although the review process can be initiated by either editor, it is preferable that submissions from Asia and Australia be sent to the Asia-Pacific Editor, while other papers should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief. The paper must be submitted with a cover letter, indicating clearly the corresponding author's name, postal address, and email address. The cover letter should contain a statement that the submitted manuscript, or its translation, has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere.
General Manuscript Preparation
Each paper should be introduced by three to five keywords as well as by a self-contained abstract of no more than 100 words. On the first page of the paper, full postal addresses of all authors and the email address of the corresponding author should be indicated. While there are no rigid upper and lower limits to paper length, research papers are typically between 12 and 30 printed journal pages. Please make sure that the paper is submitted in its final form. Corrections in the proof stage other than printer's errors should be avoided: costs arising from such corrections will be charged to the authors.
Footnotes should be avoided if possible and be brief. They should be numbered consecutively.
References should be referred to consecutively in the text in square brackets [ ], and grouped together at the end of the paper in numerical order, as in the following examples: books [1], articles in journals [2], papers in a contributed volume [3,4], unpublished papers [5]. A considerable portion of the references are expected to be published in international archival journals.
[1] E. Borger, Computability, Complexity, Logic (North-Holland, Amsterdam, 1989).
[2] D.E. Knuth, Theory and Practice, Theoret. Comput. Sci. 90 (1991) 1-15.
[3] A.K. Lenstra and H.W. Lenstra, Jr., Algorithms in number theory, in: J. van Leeuwen, ed., Handbook of Computer Science, Vol. A (Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1990) 673-715.
[4] M. Li, Lower bounds by Kolmogorov complexity, in: Proc. ICALP '85, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Vol. 194 (Springer, Berlin, 1985) 383-393.
[5] A. Rajasekar, Semantics for logic programs, Ph.D. Thesis, Department of Computer Science, University of Maryland, 1989.
Figures should be provided in a form suitable for photographic reproduction and reduction. Lettering should be uniform of size corresponding to the anticipated reduction. Handwritten lettering on figures is not acceptable. Figures should be identified by Arabic numerals and the captions should be typed, double-spaced, on a separate sheet rather than lettered on the figures themselves. Photographs and coloured pictures must be of impeccable quality. Please note that for colour photographs the publisher will charge the printing costs to the author.
Electronic Submissions
Only the final accepted manuscript can be submitted on disk, along with a paper-printed version which is identical to the file. Please label the disk with your name, and mention which word processor you have used.
Authors can also keep a track on the progress of their accepted article, and set up e-mail alerts informing them of changes to their manuscript's status, by using the "Track a Paper" feature of Elsevier's Author Gateway.
LaTeX documents
LateX files of papers that have been accepted for publication may be sent to the Publisher by e-mail or on a diskette (3.5" or 5.25" MS-DOS). If the file is suitable, proofs will be produced without rekeying the text. The article should be encoded in ESP-LaTeX, standard LaTeX, or AMS-LaTeX (in document style "article"). The Elsevier-LaTex package, together with instructions on how to prepare a file, is available from the Publisher Full details of electronic submission and formats can be obtained from http://authors.elsevier.com . This package can also be obtained from our server, or using anonymous FTP from the Comprehenseive Tex Archive Network (CTAN) at sites in the USA ftp://ftp.shsu.edu/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/elsevier, in the United Kingdom at ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/pub/../tex-archive/macros/latex209/contrib/elsevier and in Germany at ftp://ftp.dante.de/pub/tex/macros/latex/contrib/supported/elsevier
Illustrative material (original figures or high-quality glossy prints, or photographs showing a sharp contrast) should be included separately. No changes from the accepted version are permissible.
Without the explicit approval by the Editors, the Publisher reserves the right to decide whether to use the author's file or not. If the file is sent by e-mail, the full name of the journal should be mentioned in the subject field of the message to identify the paper. Authors should include an ASCII table (available from the Publisher) in their files to enable the detection of transmission errors. The files should be mailed to Paulette de Boer, Elsevier Science B.V., P.O. Box 103, 1000 AC Amsterdam, Netherlands. Fax: +31 20 4852 616. For the purpose of further correspondence the manuscript should end with a complete mailing address, preferably including email address, of at least one of the authors.
Non-LaTeX documents
Only the final accepted manuscript can be submitted on disk, along with a paper-printed version which is identical to the file. Please label the disk with your name, and mention which word processor you have used. The word-processed text should be in single column format. Keep the layout of the text as simple as possible; in particular, do not use the word-processor's options to justify the text or to hyphenate the words.
The electronic text should be prepared in a way very similar to that of conventional manuscripts (see also Guide for Authors).
The list of references, tables and figure legends should be compiled separately from the main text. Do not reserve space for the figures and tables in the text; instead, indicate their approximate locations, either directly in the electronic text or on the manuscript.
The final text should be submitted both in manuscript form and on diskette. Use standard 3.5" or 5.25" diskettes for this purpose. Both double density (DD) and high density (HD) diskettes are acceptable.
It is recommended to store the main text, list of references, tables and figure legends in separate text files with clearly identifiable file names (for example, with extensions .TXT, REF, TBL, FIG).
The format of the files depends on the word-processor used. Texts made with DEC WPS PLUS, DisplayWrite, First Choice, IBM Writing Assistant, Microsoft Word, Multimate, PFS:Write, Professional Writer, Samma Word, Sprint, Total Word, Volkswriter, Wang PC, WordMARC, WordPerfect, Wordstar, or files supplied in DCA.RFT format can be readily processed. In all other cases the preferred text format is ASCII. Essential is that name and version of the word-processing program and the type of computer on which the text was prepared is clearly indicated on the diskette label or the accompanying checklist.
The manuscfreeript may contain parts (e.g. formulas or complex tables) or last-minute corrections which are not included in the text on diskette; however, if this is the case then the differences with the diskette version should be clearly marked on the manuscript.
Illustrative material (original figures or high-quality glossy prints, or photographs showing a sharp contrast) should be included separately.
