About the journal
Mechanics of Materials
Mechanics of Materials is a forum for original scientific research on the flow, fracture, and general constitutive behavior of geophysical, geotechnical and technological materials, with balanced coverage of advanced technological and natural materials, with balanced coverage of theoretical, experimental, and field investigations. Of special concern are macroscopic predictions based on microscopic models, identification of microscopic structures from limited overall macroscopic data, experimental and field results that lead to fundamental understanding of the behavior of materials, and coordinated experimental and analytical investigations that culminate in theories with predictive quality.
|
Original contributions are published on the thermomechanical behavior of technological materials such as metals, polymers, ceramics, various advanced composites, wood, etc., geotechnical materials such as rock and soil, and on thermomechanical processes pertaining to solid earth geophysics. The journal contains research papers, invited review articles, brief notes, letters to the editor, book reviews and news items. |

Instructions to Authors
Submission of papers
Manuscripts (one original + two copies), accompanied by a covering letter, should be sent to either the Editor-in-Chief or to a relevant member of the Editorial Board as listed on the inside front cover of the journal.
Original material. It is the editorial policy of Mechanics of Materials that all manuscripts submitted for possible publication in the journal should be accompanied by a statement by the authors indicating: (a) Whether or not the paper is concurrently submitted for publication elsewhere. (b) Whether the paper, in its entirety, in part, or in a modified version, has been published elsewhere. If so, please supply pertinent information. (c) Whether or not the paper has previously been submitted for possible publication elsewhere and was subsequently rejected or withdrawn. In either case, please supply relevant information.
Refereeing Procedure. All contributions are reviewed expeditiously but thoroughly. In most cases, reliance will be placed on local reviewers so that the time for the review is reduced to usually three weeks, and certainly no more than two months, after receipt of the manuscript. In exceptional circumstances, where comments by several outside reviewers become necessary, the author will be consulted no later than three weeks after receipt of the manuscript.
Types of contributions
Mechanics of Materials contains research papers, invited review articles, brief notes, letters to the editor, book reviews, and some pertinent scientific items.
Manuscript preparation
All manuscripts should be written in good English. The use of metric units of the SI (Syst¨¨me Internationale) form is obligatory. The paper copies of the text should be prepared with double line spacing and wide margins, on numbered sheets. See notes below on electronic version of manuscripts.
Structure. Please adhere to the following order of presentation: Article title, Author(s), Affiliation(s), Abstract, Keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements, Appendices, References, Figure captions, Tables.
Corresponding author. The name, complete postal address, telephone and fax numbers and the e-mail address of the corresponding author should be given on the first page of the manuscript.
Keywords. Please supply 6-8 keywords of your own choice for indexing purposes.
References. Must be cited in the text according to the Harvard name/year convention, i.e. listing the names of the authors with the publication date placed in parentheses, e.g., Bishop and Hill (1951) or (Armstrong,1953; Bishop and Hill, 1951). The cited references should be listed in alphabetical order at the end of the article. Each reference should include: names of authors, year of publication (in parentheses), title, abbreviated journal title, volume number, and the page numbers. For books, the publisher should be given.
Illustrations.
Illustrations should also be submitted in triplicate: one master set and two sets of copies. The line drawings in the master set should be original laser printer or plotter output or drawn in black india ink, with careful lettering, large enough (3-5 mm) to remain legible after reduction for printing. Complex diagrams should be referred to as figures and should be numbered consecutively; simple diagrams can be typeset. The photographs should be originals, with somewhat more contrast than is required in the printed version. They should be unmounted unless part of a composite figure. Any scale markers should be inserted on the photograph, not drawn below it.
FREE ONLINE COLOUR If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable colour figures then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in colour on the web (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in colour in the printed version.
After acceptance.
Notification. You will be notified by the Editor of the journal of the acceptance of your article and invited to supply an electronic version of the accepted text, if this is not already available.
Copyright transfer. You will be asked to transfer the copyright of the article to the Publisher. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.
Proofs. The corresponding author receives proofs, which should be corrected and returned to the publisher within three days of receipt. Please note that typesetting costs of extensive author's corrections in proofs, other than those of printer's errors, will be charged to the author.
Electronic manuscripts.
The Publisher welcomes the receipt of an electronic version of your accepted manuscript (preferably encoded in LaTeX). If you have not already supplied the final, revised version of your article (on diskette) to the Journal Editor, you are requested herewith to send a file with the text of the accepted manuscript directly to the Publisher by e-mail or on diskette (allowed formats 3.5 inch or 5.25 inch MS-DOS, or 3.5 inch Macintosh) to the address given below. Please note that no deviations from the version accepted by the Editor of the journal are permissible without the prior and explicit approval by the Editor. Such changes should be clearly indicated on an accompanying printout of the file.
Author benefits
No page charges. Publishing in Mechanics of Materials is free.
Free offprints. The corresponding author will receive 25 offprints free of charge. An offprint order form will be supplied by the Publisher for ordering any additional paid offprints.
Discount. Contributors to Elsevier Science journals are entitled to a 30% discount on all Elsevier Science books.
