International Journal of Damage Mechanics


eISSN: 15307921 | ISSN: 10567895 | Current volume: 33 | Current issue: 9 Frequency: 10 Times/Year

Featuring original, peer-reviewed papers by leading specialists from around the world, the International Journal of Damage Mechanics covers new developments in the science and engineering in the field of damage mechanics of materials and structures. Damage mechanics is a clearly identified research field focused on studying the effects of various nano, micro and macro defects on the mechanical behavior of materials and structures, bridging the gap between the fields of continuum inelastic deformations and classical fracture mechanics with growing macroscopic cracks.

Devoted to the prompt publication of original papers reporting the results of experimental, theoretical and/or computational work on any aspect of research in damage mechanics, the journal provides an effective mechanism to disseminate knowledge not only within the research community but also between research laboratories and industrial design sectors.

This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

All issues of the International Journal of Damage Mechanics are available to browse online.

 

In the past several decades, there has been considerable progress and significant advances made in the development of fundamental concepts of damage mechanics and their application to solve practical engineering problems. For instance, new concepts have been effectively applied to characterize creep damage, low and high cycle fatigue damage, creep-fatigue interaction, brittle/elastics damage, ductile plastic damage, strain softening, strain-rate-sensitivity damage, impact damage, and other physical phenomena. Materials investigated include, but are not limited to, polymers, ceramics, metals, composites, biomaterials, electronic packaging, geomaterials, and civil infrastructure materials, etc.

The International Journal of Damage Mechanics provides an effective mechanism to accelerate dissemination of knowledge on damage mechanics not only within the research community but also between research laboratories and industrial design departments. The journal promotes and contributes to the development of the concept of damage mechanics bridging the gap between the fields of continuum inelastic deformations and classical fracture mechanics with growing macroscopic cracks.

Featuring original, peer-reviewed papers by leading specialists from around the world, the International Journal of Damage Mechanics covers new developments in the science and engineering of experimental, theoretical and computational damage mechanics.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

• damage mechanisms at different length-scales
• damage nucleation and evolution
• creep damage
• low and high cycle fatigue damage , creep-fatigue interaction
• brittle/elastic damage
• ductile/plastic damage
• damage-induced strain softening
• damage and self-healing
• strain-rate sensitivity damage
• impact damage
• modelling and numerical simulation
• nano, micro and macro defects
• multi-scale constitutive relations with damage variables
• microstructure-property relations due to damage
• probabilistic damage mechanics
• new applications of damage mechanics to various fields
