Mechanics of Composite Materials publishes original experimental and theoretical research on the mechanical properties and behavior of composite materials as well as matrices and fibers. Coverage includes:strength and fracture;damage mechanics and fatigue;numerical methods and optimal design of structures;prediction of long-term properties, effect of environment, ageing; nondestructive testing;mechanical aspects of technology, rheology of polymer melts and biocomposites.This bimonthly journal is a translation of the peer reviewed Russian language journal, Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov.
