Journal Title
THEORETICAL AND APPLIED FRACTURE MECHANICS
THEOR APPL FRACT MEC
ISSN / eISSN
0167-8442
Aims and Scope
Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics' aims & scopes have been re-designed to cover both the theoretical, applied, and numerical aspects associated with those cracking related phenomena taking place, at a micro-, meso-, and macroscopic level, in materials/components/structures of any kind.
The journal aims to cover the cracking/mechanical behaviour of materials/components/structures in those situations involving both time-independent and time-dependent system of external forces/moments (such as, for instance, quasi-static, impulsive, impact, blasting, creep, contact, and fatigue loading). Since, under the above circumstances, the mechanical behaviour of cracked materials/components/structures is also affected by the environmental conditions, the journal would consider also those theoretical/experimental research works investigating the effect of external variables such as, for instance, the effect of corrosive environments as well as of high/low-temperature.

Between April 14 and May 17, and between April 28 and May 3, there were weekends, but it seems like it only took a few days. Many thanks to Editor-in-Chief Luca Susmel, who usually handles manuscripts on the same day or the next day. I will continue to support them with good results in the future.
