Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the mechanical behavior, performance, and applications of composite materials, including fiber-reinforced polymers, sandwich structures, and cellular composites. Studies investigate their response to various conditions such as elevated temperatures, impact, fatigue, and different loading scenarios, with a focus on enhancing properties like strength, stiffness, bond, and energy absorption. The research also explores sustainable and novel composite materials, including bio-composites and recycled materials, and their use in industries like aerospace, automotive, and construction.
