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.
Strain welcomes papers that deal with novel work in the following areas:
experimental techniques
non-destructive evaluation techniques
numerical analysis, simulation and validation
residual stress measurement techniques
design of composite structures and components
impact behaviour of materials and structures
signal and image processing
transducer and sensor design
structural health monitoring
biomechanics
extreme environment
micro and nano testing methods
