MECHANICS BASED DESIGN OF STRUCTURES AND MACHINES

Emphasizing contemporary research of immediate and potential application to mechanical, civil, aerospace, and automotive engineering as well as naval architecture, Mechanics Based Design of Structures and Machines contains analytical, numerical, and experimental contributions of permanent interest to research engineers. In addition to classical applications such as structures and machine analysis and design, the journal encourages submission of new fundamental and interdisciplinary contributions of mechanics and mechanics-based design in emerging application areas such as robotics, automotive, space structures, smart structures, and micromachines.Other technical areas of interest include high-speed computing, numerical methods, structural optimization, variational methods, stability, fatigue and fracture mechanics, plasticity, and related basic applied mechanics and mechanics-based design.The journal publishes two types of articles: Research Papers and Innovative Application Briefs. Research Papers are limited to 11,000 equivalent words (about 20 typeset pages). Innovative Applications Briefs, which concern the application of existing mechanics and mechanics-based design methods toward the design of new innovative systems and devices, are limited to 5,500 equivalent words (about 10 typeset pages). All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. Submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.

强调对机械、民用、航空航天和汽车工程以及海军建筑的即时和潜在应用的当代研究，结构和机械的基于力学的设计包含对研究工程师有永久兴趣的分析、数值和实验贡献。除了结构和机器分析与设计等经典应用之外，该期刊还鼓励提交新的基础和跨学科的机械和基于机械的设计成果，这些成果将应用于机器人、汽车、空间结构、智能结构和微机械等新兴应用领域。其他感兴趣的技术领域包括高速计算、数值方法、结构优化、变分法、稳定性、疲劳和断裂力学、塑性以及相关的基本应用力学和基于力学的设计。该杂志发表了两种类型的文章：研究论文和创新应用简报。研究论文仅限于11000个对等单词（大约20个排版页）。创新应用简介涉及到现有机械和基于机械的设计方法在新的创新系统和设备设计中的应用，仅限于5500个等效词（大约10个排版页）。所有提交的手稿都要经过编辑的初步评估，如果认为适合进一步考虑，还要经过独立的匿名专家评审。提交是通过网上学术一手稿。
