Aime & Scopes
- The Journal of Materials: Design and Applications is a forum for communication of both fundamental research and application areas in the field of the design and application of engineering materials, predominantly within the context of mechanical engineering applications. This includes a wide range of materials engineering and technology, including:
/// Metals, e.g., lightweight metallic materials
/// polymers
/// composites, in general, including metal-matrix and polymer-matrix,
/// ceramics.
Advanced applications would include:
Manufacturing in the new or newer materials, in particular, in the fields of
/// tribology
/// failure and degradation
/// smart materials
/// welding and joining
Testing methods and standards related to
/// materials selection
/// performance management
Multi-scale experimental and computational aspects (e.g. micro- and nano-scale techniques) in
/// nanotechnology and biotechnology
/// coatings and surface treatments.
The development of novel experimental, analytical and computational methods for predicting the multi-scale behaviour, evolution, performance and failure of engineering materials are key areas of interest.
The Journal is peer reviewed and aims to provide the engineering community with high quality, fundamental papers taking into account particular materials design and analysis aspects across the full range of mechanical engineering, including:
/// automobile
/// railway
/// marine
/// aerospace
/// biomedical
/// pressure vessel technology
/// turbine technology
/// chemical processing
/// power generation, generally.
The audience is those with a particular interest in materials engineering research and with a desire to see appropriate application of the materials in an engineering context. The readership therefore includes mechanical engineers with an interest in materials and materials researchers with an interest in the prospective application of their material. The mechanical engineering field covers those in industry, research and academia covering fundamental mechanics through to thermodynamics and fluid mechanics applications.
