The aim of this journal is to provide a unique forum for the publication and rapid dissemination of original research on stability and vibration of structures. It is devoted to all aspects of structural stability and dynamics, ranging from mathematical formulations to novel methods for solutions to experimental investigations and practical applications in civil, aerospace, mechanical and naval engineering. The important subjects of structural stability and structural dynamics are placed together in this journal because they share somewhat fundamental elements. In recognition of the considerable research interests and recent proliferation of papers in these subjects and the lack of an international journal specifically tailored to publish new findings in these areas, we hope that the journal can help bring together papers focussed on related subjects, including the state-of-the-art surveys, so as to provide a more effective medium for disseminating the latest developments to researchers and engineers. This journal features a section for technical notes that allows researchers to publish their initial findings or new ideas more speedily. It also publishes discussions so that researchers can have a vibrant and timely communication with others.
