Aims and Scope

The central aim of Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures ( MAMS) is to promote the dissemination of significant developments and publish state-of-the-art reviews and technical discussions of previously published papers dealing with mechanics aspects of advanced materials and structures. Refereed contributions describing analytical, numerical, and experimental methods and hybrid approaches that combine theoretical and experimental techniques in the study of advanced materials and structures are published, along with critical surveys of the literature and discussions of papers in the field.

Mechanics of layered structures, with layers of any materials (metallic, foams, piezoelectric, composites, ceramic, functionally graded, etc.) at various scales, milli/micro/nano-meter is of MAMS interest. Applications to structures subjected to mechanical, thermal, electrical, magnetical, hygrothermal, etc., as well as any coupled combinations of these all are of interests for MAMS. That is mechanics of multi-fields problems at various scale are of interest for MAMS, including fluid-strictures interactions.

Static and dynamic as well linear and nonlinear problems are of interest; advanced development of new materials with applications to automotive, civil, marine, aeronautical, space and bioengineering structures at various scales are of interest of this journal. Of special interest are methods and techniques for a better understanding of mechanics of metamaterials as well as the interaction with additive manufacturing technologies.

The theme of this article is to use both nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and a new constitutive model to test the performance changes of different aging conditions of vibration reduction rubber. It may not be easy to find a reviewer who is proficient in both NMR and mechanical models, so it took a full month to find the second reviewer. The final review comments only focused on the format of the paper, and the first reviewer returned the revised manuscript in just three days. The first reviewer only suggested expanding the details of the abstract content, while the second reviewer raised a series of criticisms regarding the font size of the images, English grammar, etc. Later, the second round of review by the editorial department did not consider the opinions of the second reviewer. After the first reviewer agreed to the modifications, this article was accepted directly. Apart from the time spent on finding reviewers, the rest of the process did not experience significant delays. This journal can be considered relatively tolerant towards beginners.

This article is my second submission, but it is the first one that has been successfully accepted. I had previously submitted to two journals, but both were rejected during the pre-review stage by the editor. Therefore, MAMS is the first journal in which my article successfully made it to the external review stage. It took a total of four months from the submission on January 29th to the acceptance on May 20th, coinciding with Tongji University's celebration. The longest delay was in finding reviewers, with the second reviewer taking a whole month to be found.
