Experimental Mechanics mainly deals with areas of study such as Solid mechanics, Composite material, Structural engineering, Optics and Stress (mechanics). Solid mechanics research featured in Experimental Mechanics incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Residual stress, Photoelasticity, Finite element method and Fluid dynamics, Mechanics. Ultimate tensile strength, Fracture mechanics, Epoxy, Deformation (engineering) and Fracture (geology) are some of the facets of Composite material tackled in it.
Crack closure is a primary topic of Fracture mechanics research in the journal. The research on Structural engineering discussed in the journal draws on the closely related field of Stress concentration. Optics research discussed connects with the study of Displacement (vector).
The work on Displacement (vector) addressed in Experimental Mechanics expands to the thematically related Digital image correlation. The journal focused on Strain gauge research but expanded to cover Strain (chemistry).
The published articles are organized to reinforce research efforts on Solid mechanics, Composite material, Structural engineering, Optics and Digital image correlation. In addition to Solid mechanics research, the journal publications aim to explore topics under Residual stress, Stress (mechanics), Finite element method and Fluid dynamics, Mechanics. The studies on Optics discussed at the most cited articles can also contribute to research in the domains of Acoustics, Displacement (vector) and Photoelasticity.
Experimental Mechanics primarily focuses on research topics in Solid mechanics, Composite material, Digital image correlation, Stress (mechanics) and Finite element method. The journal facilitates discussions on Solid mechanics that incorporate concepts from other fields like Residual stress, Displacement (vector), Deformation (meteorology), Microscale chemistry and Mechanics. Topics in Residual stress were tackled in line with various other fields like Repeatability, Diffraction and Strain gauge.
The work tackled in it goes beyond the discipline of Composite material as it also encompasses Anisotropy. Experimental Mechanics explores topics in Digital image correlation which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Image resolution, Displacement field, Split-Hopkinson pressure bar, Deformation (engineering) and Speckle pattern. The Finite element method study featured falls within the wider field of Structural engineering.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Experimental Mechanics (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Experimental Mechanics (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 5.88% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 14.84% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 9.38% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.72% of all publications and 64.06% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
