Research and Markets ( cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww .. ) has announced the addition of the " cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww .. " subscription to their offering.

cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww .. provides a forum for work relating to the measurement and analysis of strain that is appropriate to engineering design and practice.

Aims and Scope


The Journal of Strain Analysis is an international journal that publishes original research and authoritative reviews

relating to any aspect of the measurement and analysis of strain at any scale. The Journal is interdisciplinary and seeks to publish innovative papers that describe analytical, experimental or numerical techniques for the measurement, analysis or interpretation of stress and strain; including the novel use of such data in understanding nature; in engineering decision-making and in the design of industrial processes, structural components, or systems.

The following subject descriptions are provided for guidance and are not exhaustive;


Analytical/ Numerical Methods


Papers describing significant theoretical developments or those addressing advances in formulation and application of numerical methods such as the finite element, boundary element and meshless methods in order to understand and resolve industrial processes that are of current and future interest are welcomed. Papers should emphasize knowledge gained from analysis and modelling.

Experimental Techniques


Studies involving novel methods or the significant development of techniques in experimental mechanics for evaluating strain and associated quantities; and, or the application of such techniques to provide new insights into the mechanics or performance of structural components, engineering devices and systems.

Materials Behaviour


Studies in the mechanics of any material system (metal, polymer, ceramic, composite or other) at one or more length scales which provide insight and understanding in material properties and failure modes are welcome.

The journal is published eight times a year.

Please note that an annual subscription runs from Jan-Dec each year. If you are subscribing after the start of the year, you will receive all previous issues produced since the start of the year.
