JoMMS Research

The journal has as its objective the publication and wide electronic dissemination of innovative and consequential research in mechanics of materials and deformable structures of all types. Analytical, computational, and experimental results must serve to clarify physical phenomena that typically involve small or large deformation states. Methods that can be generalized to a wider class of problems are encouraged.

Scope

Drawing from all areas of engineering, materials, and biology, the mechanics of solids, materials, and structures is experiencing considerable growth in directions not anticipated a few years ago, which involve the development of new technology requiring multidisciplinary simulation. The journal stimulates this growth by emphasizing fundamental advances that are relevant in dealing with problems of all length scales. Of growing interest are the multiscale problems with an interaction between small and large scale phenomena.

Peer Review

Every paper submitted to JoMMS is subjected to stringent peer review by, on average, three reviewers. Only a fraction of submitted manuscripts are published, generally after revision required by the reviewers.

Indexing and Impact Factor

In 2009, JoMMS was included in the Web of Science / Science Citation Index. An official impact factor will be recorded here as soon as it is available.

JoMMS is also covered by Current Contents - Engineering, Computing & Technology.
