Aims & Scope✦ Compiled from public sources

Materials Science and Engineering: A publishes theoretical and experimental studies related to the load-bearing capacity of materials. It focuses on scientific and/or engineering factors that affect the microstructure-strength relationships of materials and reports changes to mechanical behavior. The journal will not publish papers on concrete and cement-based systems, nor on polymeric and polymer-based materials, and discourages papers with an emphasis on corrosion or wear unless they specifically address novel mechanical behavior or related phenomena.
