The International Journal of Impact Engineering, established in 1983, has as its objective the publication of original research
findings related to the response of structures, bodies and materials from the exposure to impact and blast events. Pertinent areas encompass
the following general topics and those associated with them:
- Structural impact and failure
- Energy absorbing
systems
- Terminal ballistics
- Dynamic material behaviour and failure
- Stress waves
- Structural crashworthiness
- Blast loading coupled with response of structures
- High-speed mechanical and forming processes
- Hazards assessments,
safety and protection involving impact and blast loading
Manuscripts submitted for publication are subjected to stringent
peer review and are assessed for their contributions to the understanding of impact and high-rate loading phenomena, as well as their
applications. Papers concerned primarily with the fields of mathematics, materials science or computation, with little direct relevance
to impact and blast dynamics, as well as papers with purely descriptive contents will not be accepted. Manuscripts that focus on parametric
studies using commercial software, unaccompanied by convincing validation, or papers on novel computational techniques without comparison
with established methods or test data are also not solicited.
Papers in the International Journal of Impact Engineering
should be of interest to aeronautical engineers, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, naval architects, nuclear engineers, ocean engineers,
offshore engineers, transportation engineers and workers in other branches of engineering and science who are involved in various aspects
of impact and blast loading.
Companion papers
Authors should aim at submitting manuscripts that can be reviewed on their
own, without assuming that preceding or subsequent related manuscripts will be published. Authors of companion papers should inform the
Editor the reasons for publishing their work in multiple parts.
