Aims & Scope

Mechanics of Composite Materials is a bimonthly journal that publishes original research on the mechanical properties and behavior of composite materials. Offers insight into strength, fracture, damage mechanics, and fatigue. Discusses numerical methods and optimal design of structures. Explores innovative methods of nano composite materials research and development. Covers various application areas, from civil engineering to nanocomposites. Prioritizes nondestructive testing and prediction of long-term properties and aging problems.
