Overview

International Journal of Fracture is a comprehensive platform for original contributions that (i) enhance the understanding of micro and macro fracture mechanisms in all materials; (ii) focus on experimental, theoretical and computational investigations of the mechanics of fracture, damage and failure; (iii) advance structural integrity assessment.

  • Provides insight into engineering implications of fracture mechanisms.
  • Publishes papers from engineers and scientists working in various aspects of fracture.
  • Encourages innovative and in-depth engineering applications of fracture theory.
  • Includes concise Letters in Fracture and Micromechanics.
  • Offers free full colour printing with no page limits.

  • Special Issue: Failure Mechanisms in Advanced Materials and Structures

    CLOSED FOR SUBMISSIONS
    Guest Editors: Zengtao Chen, Minghao Zhao, Cunfa Gao & Efstathios E. Theotokoglou
    This Special Issue focuses on modelling, simulation and characterization of failure behavior of advanced materials and structures. In particular, mathematical modelling, experimental study and numerical simulation of failure behavior of advanced materials and structures under various multiphysical disturbances will be the main focus of the volume. 

  • Special Issue: Structural Integrity

    CLOSED FOR SUBMISSIONS
    Guest Editors: Chinthapenta Viswanath, Joshi Shailendra & Chandrasekar Srinivasan
    This Special Issue invites contributions on the relevance and uses of fracture, fatigue, and damage. Original contributions in the broad areas of structural integrity pertaining to brittle, ductile, polymers, and elastomers fracture behavior, fatigue, and damage will be considered. Review papers comparing various experimental and computational benchmark fracture problems are also welcome.
