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.

Strain 是一本国际期刊，收录了有关测量结构和系统的力学行为的前沿研究的贡献。 Strain 只接受在设计、实施和/或验证实验方法以表征材料、结构和系统方面具有足够新颖性的贡献；即仅限于应用既定方法的贡献超出了期刊的范围。该杂志收录了来自所有工程学科的论文，这些论文涉及材料在负载下的行为和退化、结构设计和测量技术。尽管该杂志的主旨是实验性的，但数值模拟和验证也包含在报道中。

Strain 欢迎涉及以下领域新颖工作的论文：

实验技术

无损评估技术

数值分析、模拟和验证

残余应力测量技术

复合结构和组件的设计

材料和结构的冲击行为

信号和图像处理

传感器和传感器设计

结构健康监测

生物力学

极端环境

微米级和纳米级测试方法。
