The journal mostly deals with topics like Structural engineering, Composite material, Mechanics, Mathematical analysis and Finite element method. International Journal of Solids and Structures explores research in Structural engineering and the adjacent study of Plasticity. International Journal of Solids and Structures investigates Plasticity research which frequently intersects with Hardening (metallurgy).
Stress (mechanics), Composite number, Ultimate tensile strength, Fracture (geology) and Deformation (engineering) are all aspects of Composite material discussed in it. The research on Mechanics featured in it combines topics in other fields like Plane stress, Classical mechanics, Constitutive equation, Crack closure and Anisotropy. The research on Mathematical analysis tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Isotropy, Geometry and Nonlinear system.
In addition to Finite element method research, the journal aims to explore topics under Numerical analysis and Homogenization (chemistry). The majority of Fracture mechanics studies are focused on the issues of Crack growth resistance curve.
The main points discussed in the journal publications deal with Composite material, Structural engineering, Finite element method, Mathematical analysis and Mechanics. While work presented in the journal papers provide substantial information on Structural engineering, it also covers topics in Vibration, Nonlinear system and Plasticity. The journal articles with studies in Mechanics featured incorporate elements of Piezoelectricity, Classical mechanics and Constitutive equation.
The primary areas of discussion in International Journal of Solids and Structures are Composite material, Stress (mechanics), Mechanics, Finite element method and Mathematical analysis. Research on Composite material addressed in the journal frequently intersections with the field of Phase (matter). It focuses on Stress (mechanics) but sometimes tackles the closely related topic of Nonlinear system which is concerned with Cauchy stress tensor, Finite strain theory, Shearing (physics) and Graphene.
International Journal of Solids and Structures facilitates discussions on Mechanics that incorporate concepts from other fields like Beam (structure), Radius, Boundary value problem, Stress intensity factor and Bending. The studies in Finite element method featured incorporate elements of Cracking, Plastic energy and Viscoelasticity. The journal explores issues in Mathematical analysis which can be linked to other research areas like Wavenumber, Amplitude, Unilateral contact, Constraint (information theory) and Abscissa.
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 International Journal of Solids and Structures (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 International Journal of Solids and Structures (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 2022 edition, 6.67% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 10.71% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 17.86% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.86% of all publications and 53.57% 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.
