Aims & Scope✦ Compiled from public sources

Composite Structures disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers, and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis, and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures. The journal also explores topics under Fiber and Glass fiber.
