About the journal
Because of the rapid growth of Crashworthiness as a stand alone engineering subject, there is a need for a journal devoted to the crash behaviour of structures and materials, and impact biomechanics.
The International Journal of Crashworthiness provides an authoritative forum for the publication of original research and applied work fundamental for researchers, engineers and designers.
The Journal covers all matters relating to crashworthiness of:
- Road vehicles
- Rail vehicles
- Air and spacecraft
- Ships and Submarines
- On- and off-shore instalations
The issues addressed include the quality of response of materials, body structures, and energy-absorbing systems subject to sudden dynamic loading.
It also encompasses impact biomechanics, which can be broadly categorised into human response, mechanics of injury, human tolerance, development of human surrogates for impact simulation and occupant protection in general.
Instructions to Authors
The International Journal of Crashworthiness welcomes papers with experimental, analytical or numerical analysis as a means of comprehending and predicting the crash response and occupant behaviour.
Every paper accepted for publication is strictly refereed and assessed with respect to its contribution to the understanding of crashworthiness, or the insight into engineering design in all the related areas. The Journal strongly encourages original papers with an applied theme, but will not accept for publication any papers in the fields of materials science, medical science, computer science, mathematics and physics, not related to the main issues to be addressed. All papers must be submitted in English.

All papers must be submitted in English and should be written simply and concisely. Note that all technical papers should be written in the third person. Please include full postal address as well as telephone/fax/email details for the corresponding author.
Three complete copies of each paper should be submitted with original photographs (black and white), linework figures and tables separated out from the text. An electronic copy on CD/IBM-compatible disk should accompany the final version. The electronic copy must match the hardcopy exactly. Please use MS Word for Windows and ensure that the disk is labelled with the author's name and title of the paper.
Manuscripts should be typed on one side, with double spacing throughout. A list of captions for the illustrations and for each table should be provided separately.
The SI system of units should be employed.
Subject matter should be arranged clearly under such headings as: Abstract, Notation, Introduction, Equipment, Experimental procedure, Theory and Results. Mathematical derivations and the like should be presented as Appendices. The order of contents is as follows:
- Title of paper
- Author name and business address
- Abstract (approx 150 words)
- Key words
- Notation: all symbols should be in italics
- Introduction
- Main body of the paper
- Acknowledgements
- References
Illustrations should be provided in camera ready form, suitable for reproduction. All photographs will be reproduced in black and white and should be supplied on glossy paper with good contrast. Photographs, charts and diagrams are all to be referred to as figures. All figures should be numbered consecutively as they appear in the text. The numbers should be marked on the reverse of the figure, together with the first author's name. A list of captions should be supplied separately. All linework figures should be of as high quality as possible. Avoid the use of hairlines or shading on computer-generated figures. All lettering should be legible when the figures are reduced. Figures will appear at the top or bottom of the page on which they are referenced wherever possible. Each figure must have a text reference (Figure 1, etc).
All tables are to be numbered consecutively and should have headings which make their general meaning understandable without reference to the text. Each table must have a text reference (Table 1, etc). Please indicate where tables are referenced by a note in the margin. Table layout should be consistent throughout. The units in which results are expressed should be given at the top of each column and not repeated on each line of the table. Table footnotes should be indicated by the use of lower case letters (a, b, c, etc), as superscripts without parentheses.
Equations should be numbered consecutively throughout the text. References should be numbered consecutively throughout the text (for example: [1], [2,3], [4-7]) and placed in a list (headed References) at the end of the paper:
