The International Journal of Solids and Structures has as
its objective the publication and dissemination of
original research in Mechanics of Solids and Structures
as a field of Applied Science and Engineering. It fosters
thus the exchange of ideas among workers in different
parts of the world and also among workers who emphasize
different aspects of the foundations and applications of
the field.

Standing as it does at the cross-roads of Materials
Science, Life Sciences, Mathematics, Physics and
Engineering Design, the Mechanics of Solids and
Structures is experiencing considerable growth as a
result of recent technological advances. The Journal, by
providing an international medium of communication, is
encouraging this growth and is encompassing all aspects
of the field from the more classical problems of
structural analysis to mechanics of solids continually
interacting with other media and including fracture,
flow, wave propagation, heat transfer, thermal effects in
solids, optimum design methods, model analysis,
structural topology and numerical techniques. Interest
extends to both inorganic and organic solids and
structures.

The emphasis is placed on contributions, analytical,
experimental and numerical, which appear to be of
permanent interest to research workers and engineers in
the field. If furthering knowledge in the area of
principal concern of the Journal, papers of primary
interest to the constitutive disciplines of Materials
Science, Mathematics, Physics and Engineering Design may
be published. Papers which are merely illustrations of
established principles and procedures, even though
possibly containing new numerical or experimental data,
will generally not be published.

When outstanding advances are made in existing areas or
when new areas have been developed to a definitive stage,
special review articles will be considered by the
Editors.

No length limitations for contributions are set, but only
concisely written papers are published. Brief articles
are considered on the basis of technical merit.
Discussions of previously published papers are welcome.
