The Journal of Materials: Design and Applications is a forum for communication of fundamental research and application areas in the field of materials. The whole range of materials engineering and technology is addressed, including metallic materials, polymers, composites and ceramics. In addition, metal matrix composites and ceramic matrix composites are part of the portfolio. Published in association with the Institute of Materials, the Journal aims to provide the materials engineering community with high quality fundamental papers in the area taking into account particular design aspects and applications. The applications cover the whole spectrum of mechanical engineering including: automobile; railway; aerospace; pressure vessel technology; turbine technology and power generation generally. The audience is those with a particular interest in materials engineering research and with a desire to see appropriate application of the materials in an engineering context. The readership therefore includes mechanical engineers with an interest in materials and materials researchers with an interest in the prospective application of their material. The mechanical engineering field covers those in industry, research and academia covering fundamental mechanics through to thermodynamics and fluid mechanics applications.
