Aim and Scope
The International Journal of Research on Engineering Structures and Materials (RESM) aims to be a peer-reviewed forum for the discussion, development, and dissemination of scientific and technical knowledge across engineering disciplines and materials research. The term “Structure” in the title is used in a broad sense to encompass all types of physical, physical-digital, and engineered systems.
Researchers, professionals, and practitioners working across broad interdisciplinary domains are expected to contribute to and benefit from the journal, including
Materials Science and Engineering
Structural and Mechanical Systems
Computational Mechanics and Advanced Simulation
Applied Physics and Multiphysics Modeling
Energy Materials and Sustainable Systems
Nanotechnology and Functional Materials
Biomechanics, Biomaterials, and Bio-inspired Systems
Environmental and Sustainable Engineering
Data Science, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence in Engineering Applications
Research on Engineering Structures and Materials (RESM) publishes high-quality theoretical, computational, and experimental studies on engineered systems and material behaviors. Theoretical formulations and numerical investigations are encouraged to be validated by experimental findings where applicable. State-of-the-art review papers that elucidate the current standing and future directions of specialized subjects are welcomed. The journal also considers short communications and technical notes that disseminate concise, high-impact findings. Critical discussions of previously published articles are encouraged to support scientific rigor and clarity. Submissions bridging academic research and industrial engineering practice are highly valued.
Topics of special interest include (but are not limited to)
Material science and characterization (structure and properties of advanced composites, metals and alloys, ceramics, polymers, bio-based materials, and geomaterials)
Mechanics of materials (elasticity, plasticity, damage, fracture mechanics, fatigue, and micromechanics)
Structural behavior, integrity, performance, and failure analysis of engineered systems
Advanced structural design, multi-hazard assessment, and extreme event mitigation
Degradation, aging, health monitoring, repair, and retrofitting of physical systems
System safety, reliability, probabilistic methods, and risk assessment across engineering domains
