INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF IMPACT ENGINEERING

The International Journal of Impact Engineering, established in 1983 publishes original research findings related to the response of structures, components and materials subjected to impact, blast and high-rate loading. Areas relevant to the journal encompass the following general topics and those associated with them:Impact and failure of structures and materials under impact and blast loadingSystems for protection and absorption of impact and blast loadingTerminal ballisticsDynamic material behaviour and failureStress wavesStructural crashworthinessHigh-rate mechanical and forming processesImpact, blast and high-rate loading/measurement techniques and their applicationsManuscripts submitted for publication will be subjected to stringent peer review and assessed for their contribution to scientific understanding of phenomena and the response of structures and materials to impact, blast and high-rate loading. Work resulting in fundamental insights that benefit engineering design to accommodate high-rate loading, is relevant to the journal. Well-designed and well-documented experimental studies that advance knowledge in the response of materials and structures subjected to impact, blast and high-rate loading are of relevance and interest. However, they should be accompanied by analysis of the experimental data and appropriate conclusions. The incorporation of analytical modelling and/or numerical simulations to support the experimental findings, will enhance the depth and quality of the research reported and make it more compelling. Manuscripts that focus primarily on mathematics, materials science or computation, with little contribution to the scope of impact dynamics described above, as well as those of a purely descriptive nature lacking in analysis, will be declined. Papers comprising largely parametric studies (e.g. using commercial software), unaccompanied by convincing validation and discussion of implications or applications of results generated, as well as those on novel computational techniques without comparison with established analysis or test data, are also not solicited. Papers that are essentially case studies or descriptions of designs involving impact or blast loading, as well as dynamic testing which generates copious experimental data without in-depth analysis, should seek publication in journals more directly related to those particular areas.Papers in the International Journal of Impact Engineering should generally be of interest to those in the aeronautical, civil, mechanical, materials, naval, nuclear, ocean, offshore, and transportation engineering fields, as well as those in other science and engineering branches that deal with various aspects of impact, blast and high-rate loading.Companion papers Authors should submit manuscripts that can be reviewed on their own, without assuming that related earlier or subsequent submissions will be published and available for reference. Authors of companion papers should inform the Editor of the reasons why they wish to publish their work in parts.

1983年出版的《国际冲击工程杂志》发表了有关结构、部件和材料在冲击、爆炸和高速载荷作用下的响应的原始研究结果。与期刊相关的领域包括以下一般主题及其相关主题：冲击和爆炸荷载下结构和材料的冲击和破坏冲击和爆炸荷载的保护和吸收系统末次弹道学动态材料行为和失效应力波结构耐撞性高速机械和成形工艺冲击、冲击和高速加载/测量技术及其应用提交出版的手稿将接受严格的同行评审，并评估其对科学理解现象以及结构和材料对冲击、爆炸和高速率载荷的反应的贡献。产生有利于工程设计以适应高负荷的基本见解的工作，与期刊有关。精心设计和记录的实验研究，提高了材料和结构在受到冲击、爆炸和高速率载荷时的反应知识，具有相关性和兴趣。然而，他们应该伴随着实验数据的分析和适当的结论。将分析模型和/或数值模拟结合起来支持实验结果，将提高报告研究的深度和质量，并使其更加引人注目。主要关注数学、材料科学或计算的手稿，对上述冲击动力学的范围贡献不大，以及那些缺乏分析的纯描述性手稿，将被拒绝。论文主要包括参数化研究（例如使用商业软件），未经令人信服的验证和讨论所产生结果的含义或应用，以及未与已建立的分析或测试数据进行比较的新计算技术，也不受邀。论文本质上是案例研究或涉及冲击或爆炸荷载的设计描述，以及动态测试，这些测试在没有深入分析的情况下产生大量实验数据，应在与这些特定领域更直接相关的期刊上寻求出版。国际冲击工程杂志上的论文通常应该引起航空、民用、机械、材料、海军、核、海洋、近海和运输工程领域的研究者的兴趣，也应该引起其他科学和工程部门研究冲击、爆炸和高速率载荷的各个方面的兴趣。G.随同论文的作者应提交可自行审查的手稿，而不应假定相关的早期或后续提交将被出版并可供参考。同伴论文的作者应该告诉编辑他们为什么要部分地发表他们的作品。
