Journal Title：Thin-walled Structures

Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.

Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.

The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.

薄壁結構在工程建設中占有重要地位，而且其應用領域也越來越廣泛，從飛機、橋梁、船舶、石油鉆井平臺到儲罐、工業建筑和倉庫。

許多因素，包括成本和重量經濟、新材料和新工藝以及強大的分析方法的發展，都促成了這種增長，并導致需要一本專門關注因壁薄而產生問題的結構的期刊。該領域包括冷彎型材、板殼結構、增強塑料結構和鋁結構，在許多工程分支中都很重要。

薄壁結構論文的主要評選標準是，論文必須涉及薄壁結構或薄壁結構固有的基本問題。只要滿足這一標準，就不會對結構類型、材料或應用領域施加任何限制。有關理論、實驗、設計等方面的論文均已發表，預計許多論文將包含這三個方面的內容。

Thin-walled Structures創刊于1983年，由Elsevier Ltd出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋工程技術 - 工程：土木全領域，在行業領域中學術影響力很大，屬于TOP期刊，國際一流期刊，關注度和專業度非常高，所以對原創文章要求創新性很高，過審難度很高，如果您有志于TOP期刊，建議關注此刊。平均審稿速度 約6月 約19周，影響因子指數5.7，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
