Journal Title：Smart Materials And Structures

Smart Materials and Structures (SMS) is a multi-disciplinary engineering journal that explores the creation and utilization of novel forms of transduction. It is a leading journal in the area of smart materials and structures, publishing the most important results from different regions of the world, largely from Asia, Europe and North America. The results may be as disparate as the development of new materials and active composite systems, derived using theoretical predictions to complex structural systems, which generate new capabilities by incorporating enabling new smart material transducers. The theoretical predictions are usually accompanied with experimental verification, characterizing the performance of new structures and devices. These systems are examined from the nanoscale to the macroscopic. SMS has a Board of Associate Editors who are specialists in a multitude of areas, ensuring that reviews are fast, fair and performed by experts in all sub-disciplines of smart materials, systems and structures.

A smart material is defined as any material that is capable of being controlled such that its response and properties change under a stimulus. A smart structure or system is capable of reacting to stimuli or the environment in a prescribed manner. SMS is committed to understanding, expanding and dissemination of knowledge in this subject matter.

《智能材料與結構》（SMS）是一本多學科工程期刊，探討新型傳導形式的創造和利用。它是智能材料與結構領域的領先期刊，發表來自世界不同地區（主要來自亞洲、歐洲和北美）的最重要成果。這些成果可能各不相同，從使用理論預測得出的新材料和主動復合系統的開發到復雜的結構系統，這些系統通過結合新的智能材料傳感器產生新功能。理論預測通常伴隨著實驗驗證，表征新結構和設備的性能。這些系統從納米級到宏觀都經過檢驗。SMS 有一個副主編委員會，他們是多個領域的專家，確保評審快速、公平，并由智能材料、系統和結構所有子學科的專家進行。

智能材料是指任何能夠被控制的材料，其響應和屬性在刺激下會發生變化。智能結構或系統能夠以規定的方式對刺激或環境作出反應。 SMS 致力于理解、擴展和傳播該主題的知識。

Smart Materials And Structures創刊于1992年，由IOP Publishing Ltd.出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋工程技術 - 材料科學：綜合全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 約3.0個月 ，影響因子指數3.7，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。
