Mechanics of Time-dependent Materials aims to foster the development of research in Solid mechanics, Composite material, Viscoelasticity, Creep and Constitutive equation. The research on Solid mechanics featured in Mechanics of Time-dependent Materials combines topics in other fields like Viscoplasticity, Stress (mechanics), Structural engineering, Finite element method and Mechanics. Viscoplasticity study tackled is connected to the field of Plasticity.
It focuses on different Composite material studies like Strain rate, Ultimate tensile strength, Deformation (engineering), Polymer and Modulus. The Strain rate study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Strain (chemistry). Mechanics of Time-dependent Materials addresses concerns in Viscoelasticity which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Mathematical analysis, Superposition principle, Stress relaxation, Classical mechanics and Relaxation (physics).
Topics like Laplace transform and Fractional calculus are tackled as part of the discussions on Mathematical analysis. Creep research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Indentation, Geotechnical engineering, Rheology and Material properties. It is concerned with the study of Constitutive equation and Thermodynamics in general.
The most cited articles mainly deal with areas of study such as Viscoelasticity, Solid mechanics, Composite material, Creep and Constitutive equation. In addition to Viscoelasticity research, the journal publications aim to explore topics under Mathematical analysis, Stress relaxation, Dynamic mechanical analysis, Shear (sheet metal) and Mechanics. Issues in Solid mechanics were discussed in the journal papers, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Viscoplasticity, Geotechnical engineering, Structural engineering, Finite element method and Epoxy.
The journal mostly deals with topics like Solid mechanics, Creep, Composite material, Viscoelasticity and Mechanics. The research on Solid mechanics tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Viscoplasticity, Finite element method, Constitutive equation, Deformation (engineering) and Dashpot. The close relationship between Laplace transform and Distribution (mathematics), Asymptotic homogenization and Relaxation (iterative method) is one of the points of interest dissected in Constitutive equation research.
In addition to Creep research, the journal aims to explore topics under Rheology, Geotechnical engineering, Rock mass classification, Fractional calculus and Stress (mechanics). Viscoelasticity research featured in Mechanics of Time-dependent Materials incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Mathematical analysis, Dynamic mechanical analysis, Nanoindentation, Deflection (engineering) and Shrinkage. The concepts on Mechanics presented in Mechanics of Time-dependent Materials can also apply to other research fields, including Material properties, Thermal conduction and Boundary value problem.
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 Mechanics of Time-dependent Materials (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 Mechanics of Time-dependent Materials (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, 7.81% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 11.86% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.17% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.17% of all publications and 67.80% 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.
