Journal Guide

However, given the wide availability of industrial simulators (Atlas, MEDICI etc), device simulation papers should be coupled with experiment or novel analytical approaches. Also, materials growth and characterization papers should be relevant to a current or future device technology.

Types of contributions
Original research papers, letters (intended for high impact and high quality short papers)and invited review papers (please contact the editors prior to submission). SSE does not publish Notes and Brief communications.

Steel Research International is a journal providing a forum for the publication of high-quality manuscripts in areas ranging from process metallurgy and metal forming to materials engineering as well as process control and testing. The emphasis is on steel and related metals and on materials involved in the processing, such as refractories and slags. Examples are given as follows:.

Stahlbau bundelt in einer Fachzeitschrift alles uber Stahl-, Verbund- und Leichtmetallkonstruktionen im gesamten Bauwesen. Seit 1928 begleitet sie maßgeblich den gesamten Stahlbau. In Stahlbau finden sich praxisorientierte Berichte uber samtliche Themen des Stahlbaus. Die in Stahlbau publizierten Fachaufsatze sind Erstveroffentlichungen. Themenuberblick: .

The journal represents a selection of translated materials from two Russian ferrous metallurgical journals: StalB´ and Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii. Chernaya Metallurgiya. It covers new developments in blast furnaces, steelmaking, rolled products, tubes, and metal manufacturing as well as unconventional methods of metallurgy and conservation of resources. Papers in materials science and relevant commercial applications make up a considerable portion of the journal's contents. There is an emphasis on metal quality and cost effectiveness of metal production and treatment.

Strain is an international journal that contains contributions from leading-edge research on the measurement of the mechanical behaviour of structures and systems. Strain updates engineers and scientists with new developments in measurement and current research activities. The journal includes papers from all engineering disciplines that deal with material behaviour and degradation under load, structural design and measurement techniques. Although the thrust of the journal is experimental, numerical simulations and validation are included in the coverage.

Strength of Materials focuses on the strength of materials and structural components subjected to different types of force and thermal loadings, the limiting strength criteria of structures, and the theory of strength of structures. Consideration is given to actual operating conditions, problems of crack resistance and theories of failure, the theory of oscillations of real mechanical systems, and calculations of the stress-strain state of structural components. Strength of Materials is a translation of the peer-reviewed Ukrainian journal Problemy Prochnosti. The Russian-language edition is published and copyrighted by the Pisarenko Institute of Problems of Strength of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

Structural Concrete, the official journal of the fib, provides conceptual and procedural guidance in the field of concrete construction, and features peer-reviewed papers, keynote research and industry news covering all aspects of the design, construction, performance in service and demolition of concrete structures.

Superconductor Science and Technology™ is an international multidisciplinary journal for papers on all aspects of applied superconductivity. The coverage includes theories of superconductivity, the basic physics of superconductors, the relation of microstructure and growth to superconducting properties, the theory of novel devices, and the fabrication, properties and applications of thin films and devices. It also encompasses the manufacture and properties of conductors, and their application in the construction of magnets and heavy current machines, together with enabling technology. Please note Superconductor Science and Technology does not consider purely theoretical papers; theoretical papers must be clearly linked to experiments reported either in the paper itself or in the current literature.

Superlattices and Microstructures is a journal devoted to the dissemination of the science and technology of synthetic heterostructures, including individual and collective use of semiconductors, metals and insulators for the exploitation of their unique properties.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Surface Engineering provides a forum for the publication of international, peer reviewed material on this important enabling technology. The journal embraces science, technology, engineering and design aspects of the use of surface engineering to produce cost-effective substrate-surface systems having functional, mechanical, tribological and/or chemical properties that cannot be achieved from the individual components alone. Coverage includes, inter alia, design, surface modification technologies and process control, and the characterisation and properties of the system or component, including quality control and non-destructive examination.Types of contribution include* original papers reporting research and practice (up to 4000 words plus figures and illustrations)* short communications, providing a rapid publication route for preliminary announcements or short accounts of new techniques (typically 1000-1500 words with, at most, four figures and/or tables) * state of the art reviews, providing critical assessments of important areas of the discipline (typically 5000-6000 words plus figures and tables)* validated industrial case studies and technology updates (typically 500-1000 words plus three or four illustrations).

Surface Engineering and Applied Electrochemistry is the official journal of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova. It publishes theoretical and applied articles dealing with a broad spectrum of topics in surface engineering and the application of electrochemistry in industrial processing. The journal elucidates the methods and processes of the electrical treatment of materials, utilization of electrical fields, currents and charges, improvement of existing technologies, intensification of heat-and-mass transfer processes, and treatment of biological media and foodstuffs. A partial list of topics explored in the journal includes precision machining by spark erosion; electrochemical precision machining and surface finishing; surface layer hard alloying of metals; deposition of coatings from metal plasma; and electrolytic heating, magnetic annealing, electrolyte solutions and processes. This journal also features sections on equipment and instrumentation.
