MECHANICS OF TIME-DEPENDENT MATERIALS

Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials promotes the transfer of knowledge between various disciplines that deal with the properties of time-dependent solid materials but approach these from different angles. Among these disciplines are: Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Rheology, Materials Science, Polymer Physics, Design, and others.The journal deals with the time-dependent mechanical properties of solid polymers, metals, ceramics, concrete, wood, or their composites. It is recognized that certain materials can be in the melt state as function of temperature and/or pressure. Contributions address fundamental issues relating to processing and melt-to-solid transition behavior as well as time-dependent failure and fracture phenomena.

随时间变化的材料力学促进了不同学科之间知识的转移，这些学科处理随时间变化的固体材料的特性，但从不同的角度进行研究。这些学科包括：机械工程、航空航天工程、化学工程、流变学、材料科学、高分子物理、设计等。该杂志涉及固体聚合物、金属、陶瓷、混凝土、木材或其复合材料的随时间变化的力学性能。人们认识到，某些材料可以作为温度和/或压力的函数处于熔融状态。贡献涉及与加工和熔化到固体转变行为以及与时间相关的失效和断裂现象有关的基本问题。
