Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures

Edited by:
 John Yates, Eann Patterson, Feargal Brennan and Andrew Sherry

ISI Journal Citation Reports® Ranking: 2007: 41/107 Engineering, Mechanical
Impact Factor: 0.726

---

Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures encompasses the broad topic of structural integrity which is founded on the mechanics of fatigue and fracture, and is concerned with the reliability and effectiveness of structural components of any scale, geometry or material. The editors publish original contributions that will stimulate the intellectual innovation that generates elegant, effective, and economic engineering designs.

The journal is interdisciplinary and includes papers from engineers, metallurgists, materials scientists, computer scientists, physicists, chemists, and mathematicians.
