About the journal
|
Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures encompasses the broad topic of structural integrity which is founded on the mechanics of fatigue and fracture, and is concerned with the reliability and effectiveness of structural components of any scale, geometry or material. The editors publish original contributions that will stimulate the intellectual innovation that generates elegant, effective, and economic engineering designs.
The journal is interdisciplinary and includes papers from engineers, metallurgists, materials scientists, computer scientists, physicists, chemists, and mathematicians.

Instructions to Authors
The journal will be pleased to receive contributions from all parts of the world. Only papers not previously published will be accepted and authors must agree not to publish elsewhere a paper submitted to and accepted by the journal.
Manuscripts
Manuscripts should be typed with double spacing and ample margins. Each figure should be on a separate page and all pages should be numbered consecutively. When submitting in paper format, three copies should be sent to one of the editors listed below; alternatively, manuscripts may be submitted in electronic format (Word compatible or pdf format, although a Word compatible version will be required for the final version).

The language of the journal is English and papers should not normally exceed 7500 words.
Evaluation. Manuscripts will be referred to three internationally acknowledged experts in the subject, who will make recommendations to the editors relative to the quality and length of the manuscript. Only those receiving favourable recommendations from the referees will be accepted for publication.
The title should be brief. The author's name should be typed on the line below the title. The affiliation and address should follow on the next line. In the case of co-authors, respective addresses should be clearly indicated, as well as which author is to receive correspondence and proofs for correction. Where possible, the Fax number and e-mail address of the corresponding author should be supplied with the manuscript, for use by the publisher.
Multiple authors. The corresponding author should, in a covering letter, state that all other authors have approved the submission.
Abstract. A short abstract (not exceeding 150 words) should immediately precede the Keywords and body of the work. Abstracts should be most informative, giving a clear indication of the nature and range of the results contained in the paper.
Keywords. To aid Abstracting and Indexing Services a few keywords or short (three-word) keyphrases, about six maximum, should be provided after the Abstract.
Nomenclature. After the abstract, a complete list of the symbols used in the paper and their definitions should be given. Nomenclature should conform to that most frequently used in the engineering field concerned. The listing should be in alphabetical order; Roman language list first, Greek language list second.
A short Introduction and succinct conclusions must be included for the benefit of non-specialist readers.
Final submissions on disk should be accompanied by file description form available at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/pdf/fdf.pdf.
References
References to published literature should be quoted in the text with a superscript number. All references should be listed at the end of the manuscript in the order they appear in the text. Journal titles should be abbreviated in the style of the 4th edition of the World List of Scientific Periodicals and references should be arranged thus:
1. Tomkins B (1996). The mechanism of stage II fatigue crack growth. Fatigue Fract. Engng Mater. Struct., 19, 1295-1300.
2. Hill R (1971). The Mathematical Theory of Plasticity. Oxford University Press, Oxford, UK.
Illustrations and Tables
Illustrations and Tables should not be inserted in the text but should be attached to it, each complete figure and table on a separate page. All photographs, charts and diagrams are to be referred to as "Figs" and should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are referred to in the text. Illustrations, line diagrams and tables should be submitted in a form suitable for direct reproduction with the lettering large enough to be legible after the diagram has been reduced in size for printing. The requested size and also the maximum size for submission is A4. Since all figures will be photographically reduced to fit the dimensions of a journal page, all lettering and numbers should be clear, well-ordered and of an adequate size for reproduction. Wasted space within the domain of a figure should be avoided.
In the full-text online edition of the journal, figure legends may be truncated in abbreviated links to the full screen version. Therefore, the first key 100 characters of any legend should inform the reader of key aspects of the figure.
Electronic artwork
We would like to receive your artwork in electronic form. Please save vector graphics (e.g. line artwork) in Encapsulated PostScript format (EPS), and bitmap files (e.g. half tones) in Tagged Image File Format (TIFF). Ideally, vector graphics that have been saved in metafile (.WMF) or pict (.PCT) format should be embedded within the body of the text file. Please click here for further information.
In order to provide good reproduction figures that have to be scanned should be at least 80mm on their shortest dimension, and should be scanned at 600 dpi or greater.
All relevant measurements must be included in line diagrams and schematics which should be numbered consecutively. Wherever possible tables should be in block format with lines separating the titles of columns and rows.
Photographs
Photographs should be glossy prints and not photocopies, and must be kept to a minimum. Each should have written lightly on the back the author's name, the figure number, and an indication of which is the top of the picture. If words and numbers are to appear on a photograph two prints should be sent, one appropriately marked the other unmarked. Photomicrographs should contain simple but clear micron markers and dimensions.
Colour Figures
It is the policy of Fatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures for authors to pay the full cost for the reproduction in print of their colour artwork. Colour figures should be submitted following the guidelines above for for illustrations and electronic artwork.
No charge is made for printing figures in monochrome in the paper version of the journal and in colour in the on-line version. In this instance the monochrome figures should be submitted following the guidelines above, and in addition ' camera-ready' colour versions of the figures and their captions should be submitted in a PDF file format. It is preferable that vector format (e.g. eps, wmf, pict) is maintained up to the creation of hte PDF file for figures, such as graphs, that are normally generated in some form of vector format.
Proofs
Proofs will be sent via e-mail as an Acrobat PDF (portable document format) file. The e-mail server must be able to accept attachments up to 4 MB in size. Acrobat Reader will be required in order to read this file. This software can be downloaded (free of charge) from the following Web site:
www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
This will enable the file to be opened, read on screen, and printed out in order for any corrections to be added. Further instructions will be sent with the proof. Proofs will be posted if no e-mail address is available; in your absence, please arrange for a colleague to access your e-mail to retrieve the proofs. Please return the proof within 3 days of receipt to the address detailed in the email.
Original manuscripts and diagrams will be discarded one month after publication unless the publisher is requested to return original material to the author.
Further details relating to illustrations and tables can be obtained by writing to the publishers.
Copyright
Copyright in any article accepted for the Journal is assigned to Blackwell Publishing by the author(s) at the time of acceptance. The author(s) must confirm that at the time of submission that it has not and will not be submitted for publication elsewhere and that copyright will so be assigned if the article is accepted by completing a copyright assignment form.
