The journal focuses largely on the fields of Composite material, Structural engineering, Fracture mechanics, Fracture (geology) and Stress intensity factor. Fracture toughness, Ultimate tensile strength, Composite number, Brittleness and Plasticity are all subfields of Composite material research that were featured in the journal. Fracture toughness and Toughness are closely related fields of research discussed in it.
The Structural engineering works featured in it incorporate elements from Mechanics and Stress (mechanics). Fracture mechanics research presented is mostly focused on the subject of Strain energy release rate. Fracture (geology) research featured in Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Bending and Tension (physics).
While Stress intensity factor is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Geometry, Integral equation, Mathematical analysis and Stress field. The Crack closure study featured in it draws parallels with the field of Stress concentration.
The journal articles explore disciplines such as Structural engineering, Composite material, Fracture mechanics, Finite element method and Stress intensity factor. The most cited publications hold forums on Structural engineering that merge themes from other disciplines such as Stress (mechanics) and Mechanics. The Fracture mechanics research tackled in the most cited articles is interrelated with Fissure which concerns subjects like Geotechnical engineering.
Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics mainly tackles studies in Fracture (geology), Composite material, Fracture mechanics, Stress (mechanics) and Mechanics. The research on Fracture (geology) tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Peridynamics, Tension (physics), Finite element method, Stress intensity factor and Bending. The journal encompasses Finite element method studies in the context of Structural engineering as a whole.
While the journal focused on Stress intensity factor, it was also able to explore topics like Material properties and Mathematical analysis. Issues in Fracture mechanics were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Composite number, Displacement (vector) and Anisotropy. The presented research on Stress (mechanics) deals specifically with Rock mass classification but it also addresses topics in Acoustic emission.
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 Theoretical and Applied Fracture 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 Theoretical and Applied Fracture 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, 6.06% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 11.98% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 14.75% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.13% of all publications and 57.14% 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.
