International Journal of Fatigue

Typical subjects discussed in International Journal of Fatigue address: Novel fatigue testing and characterization methods (new kinds of fatigue tests, critical evaluation of existing methods, in situ measurement of fatigue degradation, non-contact field measurements) Multiaxial fatigue and complex loading effects of materials and structures, exploring state-of-the-art concepts in degradation under cyclic loading Fatigue in the very high cycle regime, including failure mode transitions from surface to subsurface, effects of surface treatment, processing, and loading conditions Modeling (including degradation processes and related driving forces, multiscale/multi-resolution methods, computational hierarchical and concurrent methods for coupled component and material responses, novel methods for notch root analysis, fracture mechanics, damage mechanics, crack growth kinetics, life prediction and durability, and prediction of stochastic fatigue behavior reflecting microstructure and service conditions) Models for early stages of fatigue crack formation and growth that explicitly consider microstructure and relevant materials science aspects Understanding the influence or manufacturing and processing route on fatigue degradation, and embedding this understanding in more predictive schemes for mitigation and design against fatigue Prognosis and damage state awareness (including sensors, monitoring, methodology, interactive control, accelerated methods, data interpretation) Applications of technologies associated with fatigue and their implications for structural integrity and reliability. This includes issues related to design, operation and maintenance, i.e., life cycle engineering Smart materials and structures that can sense and mitigate fatigue degradation Fatigue of devices and structures at small scales, including effects of process route and surfaces/interfaces.

《国际疲劳杂志》（International Journal of Fatigue）是一本致力于发表高质量原创论文的学术期刊，专注于提供材料和结构疲劳控制机制的新见解。该期刊在评估论文时特别关注其潜在影响，包括新的科学发现和疲劳领域的实质性进展。杂志鼓励提交能够揭示疲劳现象新机制的论文，这些论文可能涉及疲劳测试和表征的新方法，以及先进的建模技术。此外，该期刊还寻求那些能够公开提供配套算法、模型、工具、数据库、范围和验证限制的论文，以增强科学理解和预测的准确性。相反，对于那些新颖性不足、在缺乏新科学发现的情况下仅提供测试数据或进行常规案例研究和有限元分析的论文，《国际疲劳杂志》则不鼓励发表。
