Publishing Schedule
Mechanics of Advanced Composite Structures (MACS) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal (print and online) within mechanics aspects of advanced materials and composite structures and is now published twice a year, which was founded in 2014 by Semnan University and approved as a scientific and research journal by the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology.
MACS is an Open Access journal which doesn't charge publication fee. The journal will publish the latest and creative research results dealing with analytical methods and numerical simulations, experimental investigations, and research and development studies relevant to the knowledge and application of new and advanced materials and composites in engineering structures including basic individual structural components such as beams, plates, and shells.
The journal welcomes contributions in relation to the new computational approaches and novel applications to gain understanding of mechanical properties, thermal behavior, vibration and dynamic characteristics, damage evolution (detection and modeling), and failure mechanisms.
