Aims & Scope

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.

Frequently asked questions about Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials

Is Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials a predatory journal?

PubScope has no integrity flags on record for Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials: it is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, and is not on DOAJ's withdrawn list. Its PubScope Trust Score is 90/100. Indexing is a transparency signal, not a guarantee β€” always confirm fit and policies before submitting.

What is the impact factor of Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials?

Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials is indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection, so Clarivate publishes an official Journal Impact Factor for it (since the 2023 Journal Citation Reports, every Core Collection journal β€” including Arts & Humanities and Emerging Sources titles β€” receives one). PubScope links to Clarivate's official source rather than reprinting the number, which can be out of date. Its open 2-year mean citedness is 3.76.

Is Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials indexed in Scopus and Web of Science?

Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials is indexed in Web of Science, Scopus.
