Overview

Top Research Topics at Physical Mesomechanics?

The journal generally zeroes in on subjects such as Composite material, Solid-state physics, Mechanics, Fracture (geology) and Classical mechanics. It encompasses presentations on Composite material, specifically Deformation (engineering), Ultimate tensile strength, Alloy, Plasticity and Fracture toughness. The studies in Solid-state physics featured incorporate elements of Lattice (order), Crystallite, Curvature and Molecular dynamics.

The study of Crystallite, which falls within the realm of Crystallography, was the main focus of the presentations. Molecular dynamics research discussed connects with the study of Nanostructure. Topics in Mechanics were tackled in line with various other fields like Stress (mechanics), Shear (geology), Nonlinear system, Slip (materials science) and Forensic engineering.

The work on Fracture (geology) tackled in Physical Mesomechanics brings together disciplines like Brittleness, Fracture mechanics and Strain energy density function.

  • Composite material (34.07%)
  • Solid-state physics (24.59%)
  • Mechanics (24.00%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Lattice curvature evolution in metal materials on meso- and nanostructural scales of plastic deformation (58 citations)
  • Complete boundary element formulation for normal and tangential contact problems (54 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Physical Mesomechanics:

The published articles primarily focus on research topics in Composite material, Mechanics, Solid-state physics, Classical mechanics and Fracture (geology). While work presented in the most cited articles provide substantial information on Composite material, it also covers topics in Titanium and Strain energy density function. The journal articles facilitate discussions on Mechanics that incorporate concepts from other fields like Shear (geology), Plasticity, Thermodynamic equilibrium and Nonlinear system.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Composite material
  • Thermodynamics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal aims to foster the development of research in Composite material, Mechanics, Solid-state physics, Fracture (geology) and Nanocomposite. The Mechanics works featured in it incorporate elements from Displacement (vector), Periodic point, Stress (mechanics), Deformation (meteorology) and Dislocation. The Solid-state physics research presented falls under the domain of Condensed matter physics.

The concepts on Fracture (geology) presented in the journal can also apply to other research fields, including Finite element method, Spall, Shear (sheet metal), Similitude and Scaling. Issues in Nanocomposite were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Young's modulus, Modulus, Degradation (geology) and Moisture. While Work (thermodynamics) is the key highlight in it, it also covered some subjects on Lead (geology) and Classical mechanics.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Quasi-3D refined theory for functionally graded porous plates: Vibration analysis (3 citations)
  • The Physical Nature of Plasticity (2 citations)
  • Autosoliton View of the Seismic Process. Part 2. Possibility of Generation and Propagation of Slow Deformation Autosoliton Disturbances in Geomedia (1 citations)

Papers citation over time

Publication chance based on affiliation

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, 25.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 58.97% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 23.08% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.26% of all publications and 7.69% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

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.

Returning Institution Index

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.

The experience to innovation index

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:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
