Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials accepts contributions dealing with the time-dependent mechanical properties of solid polymers metals ceramics concrete wood or their composites. It is recognized that certain materials can be in the melt state as function of temperature and/or pressure. Contributions concerned with fundamental issues relating to processing and melt-to-solid transition behaviour are welcome as are contributions addressing time-dependent failure and fracture phenomena. Manuscripts addressing environmental issues will be considered if they relate to time-dependent mechanical properties. The journal promotes the transfer of knowledge between various disciplines that deal with the properties of time-dependent solid materials but approach these from different angles. Among these disciplines are: Mechanical Engineering Aerospace Engineering Chemical Engineering Rheology Materials Science Polymer Physics Design and others.
