Journal Title：Strain

Strain is an international journal that contains contributions from leading-edge research on the measurement of the mechanical behaviour of structures and systems. Strain only accepts contributions with sufficient novelty in the design, implementation, and/or validation of experimental methodologies to characterize materials, structures, and systems; i.e. contributions that are limited to the application of established methodologies are outside of the scope of the journal. The journal includes papers from all engineering disciplines that deal with material behaviour and degradation under load, structural design and measurement techniques. Although the thrust of the journal is experimental, numerical simulations and validation are included in the coverage.

Strain welcomes papers that deal with novel work in the following areas:

experimental techniques

non-destructive evaluation techniques

numerical analysis, simulation and validation

residual stress measurement techniques

design of composite structures and components

impact behaviour of materials and structures

signal and image processing

transducer and sensor design

structural health monitoring

biomechanics

extreme environment

micro- and nano-scale testing method.

《應變》是一本國際期刊，刊載了結構和系統機械行為測量方面的前沿研究論文。《應變》僅接受在設計、實施和/或驗證實驗方法方面具有足夠新穎性的論文，以表征材料、結構和系統；也就是說，僅限于應用既定方法的論文不在本期刊的范圍內。該期刊包括所有工程學科的論文，涉及材料行為和負載下的退化、結構設計和測量技術。盡管該期刊的重點是實驗，但其內容也涵蓋了數值模擬和驗證。

Strain 歡迎涉及以下領域的新工作的論文：

實驗技術

無損評估技術

數值分析、模擬和驗證

殘余應力測量技術

復合結構和部件的設計

材料和結構的沖擊行為

信號和圖像處理

傳感器和傳感器設計

結構健康監測

生物力學

極端環境

微觀和納米級測試方法。

Strain創刊于1965年，由Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋MATERIALS SCIENCE, CHARACTERIZATION & TESTING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 ，影響因子指數1.8，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。
