The International Journal of Impact Engineering exists for the publication of original research work concerned with the response
of structures, bodies and materials to dynamic loads arising from exposure to blast, collision or other impact events. The topics encompassed
by the journal include the dynamic response of structures, bodies and materials to impact and blast loading, terminal ballistics, vehicle
crashworthiness, containment and other processes and phenomena in which effects due to impact predominate, such as explosive welding.
In addition, related matters such as research into fire hazards in association with impact loads will be included. Every paper accepted
for publication is strictly refereed and assessed for its contribution to the understanding of impact phenomena or the insight gained
for engineering design in areas of high rate loading.
Papers whose concerns are only in the fields of mathematics, materials science
or computation without any coupling to impact dynamics are not requested. Furthermore, papers whose contents are purely descriptive will
not be accepted.
This journal should be of interest to engineers, designers and research workers in the fields of structural crashworthiness,
penetration mechanics, armour mechanics, energy-absorbing systems, structural failure, hazard assessments and safety calculations which
involve impact and blast loadings. Thus, papers in this journal will 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 impact loading of various kinds.
Companion papers
Authors should aim to
produce a manuscript that can be reviewed on its own, without assuming that earlier or later parts will be published. The authors of
companion papers should inform the Editor why they wish to publish their work in two parts.
