Welcome to the online submission and editorial system for Engineering Solid Mechanics

Engineering Solid Mechanics (ESM) is an online international journal for publishing high quality peer reviewed papers in the field of theoretical and applied solid mechanics. The primary focus is to exchange ideas about investigating behavior and properties of engineering materials (such as metals, composites, ceramics, polymers, FGMs, rocks and concretes, asphalt mixtures, bio and nano materials) and their mechanical characterization (including strength and deformation behavior, fatigue and fracture, stress measurements, etc.) through experimental, theoretical and numerical research studies. Researchers and practitioners (from deferent areas such as mechanical and manufacturing, aerospace, railway, bio-mechanics, civil and mining, materials and metallurgy, oil, gas and petroleum industries, pipeline, marine and offshore sectors) are encouraged to submit their original, unpublished contributions. Subject areas include, but are not limited to the following fields:

The primary aim of this publishing company is to perform fast and reliable process for contributors. Once a paper is accepted, our staffs work hard to provide online version of the papers as quickly as possible. All papers are assigned valid DOI number once they appear online just to make sure that the other people researchers cite them while no volume and numbers are still assigned to the papers. We believe this could help the existing knowledge grow faster; however, the actual publication of a paper with volume and number will not exceed more than 4 months.

Engineering Solid Mechanics is an open access journal, which provides instant access to the full text of research papers without any need for a subscription to the journal where the papers are published. Therefore, anyone has the opportunity to copy, use, redistribute, transmit/display the work publicly and to distribute derivative works, in any sort of digital form for any responsible purpose, subject to appropriate attribution of authorship. Authors who publish their articles may also maintain the copyright of their articles.
