Overview

Top Research Topics at Strength of Materials?

The aim of Strength of Materials is to expand the discussion of research in Solid mechanics, Composite material, Structural engineering, Mechanics and Metallurgy. The journal facilitates discussions on Solid mechanics that incorporate concepts from other fields like Vibration, Stress (mechanics), Classical mechanics, Fracture (geology) and Creep. Ultimate tensile strength, Fracture toughness, Deformation (engineering), Fracture mechanics and Brittleness are Composite material topics of special interest in the journal.

Most of the Structural engineering studies addressed also intersect with Stress concentration. The journal aims to address concerns in Metallurgy, specifically in the areas of Alloy and Titanium alloy.

  • Solid mechanics (87.39%)
  • Composite material (38.04%)
  • Structural engineering (23.53%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

The most cited articles aim to foster the development of research in Solid mechanics, Composite material, Structural engineering, Metallurgy and Mechanics. The most cited papers deal with Solid mechanics in conjunction with other fields like

  • Fracture toughness together with Cyclic loading,
  • Finite element method, which have a strong connection to Die (manufacturing).. The works on Structural engineering tackled in the published papers bring together disciplines like Vibration, Stress (mechanics) and Discontinuity (geotechnical engineering).

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

  • Composite material
  • Quantum mechanics
  • Mechanical engineering

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Solid mechanics, Composite material, Stress (mechanics), Finite element method and Mechanics are the subjects of interest in Strength of Materials. The studies in Solid mechanics featured incorporate elements of Tension (physics), Deformation (engineering), Computer simulation, Nonlinear system and Composite number. Strength of Materials features Composite material research that overlaps with concepts in Strain (chemistry).

The Stress (mechanics) works featured in it incorporate elements from Paris' law, Displacement (vector), MATLAB, Creep and Cyclic loading. Research in the field of Structural engineering was used to conduct the presented Finite element method study. The close relationship between Bending and Rotational symmetry, Elastic modulus, Compressibility, Open shell and Shell (structure) is one of the points of interest dissected in Mechanics research.

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 Strength of Materials (based on the number of publications) are:

  • National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (1874 papers) published 7 papers at the last edition, 28 less than at the previous edition,
  • Russian Academy of Sciences (247 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • National Technical University (90 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 7 less than at the previous edition,
  • National Aviation University (29 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Perm National Research Polytechnic University (21 papers) absent at the last edition.

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.

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, 23.81% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 28.12% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.25% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 25.00% of all publications and 40.62% 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.
