ENGINEERING FRACTURE MECHANICS

EFM covers a broad range of topics in fracture mechanics to be of interest and use to both researchers and practitioners. Contributions are welcome which address the fracture behavior of conventional engineering material systems as well as newly emerging material systems. Contributions on developments in the areas of mechanics and materials science strongly related to fracture mechanics are also welcome. Papers on fatigue are welcome if they treat the fatigue process using the methods of fracture mechanics.The Editors especially solicit contributions which synthesize experimental and theoretical-computational studies yielding results with direct engineering significance.

EFM涵盖了断裂力学的广泛主题，供研究人员和从业者感兴趣和使用。欢迎对传统工程材料系统以及新出现的材料系统的断裂行为作出贡献。也欢迎在与断裂力学密切相关的力学和材料科学领域的发展作出贡献。如果用断裂力学的方法来处理疲劳过程的话，关于疲劳的论文是受欢迎的。编辑们特别是在综合实验和理论计算研究的基础上，寻求有直接工程意义的成果。
