Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The International Journal of Damage Mechanics focuses on the study of material and structural damage, including its mechanisms, characterization, and modeling. Articles investigate damage evolution under various loading conditions, such as non-proportional loading, high-velocity impacts, fatigue, and freeze-thaw cycles. The journal also covers the development of constitutive models and analytical frameworks to predict material behavior and failure in diverse materials like composites, alloys, concrete, rocks, and soils.
