Journal of Nanomechanics and Micromechanics
Aim & ScopeThe Journal of Nanomechanics and Micromechanics brings science and applications together on nanoscale and nanostructured materials, with emphasis on mechanics, processing, characterization, design, modeling, and applications of materials containing true nanosize dimensions or nanostructures that describes novel or enhanced properties or functions that are based on tailored nanostructures. The Journal is directed at both academic researchers and practicing engineers.
The Journal highlights the continued growth and new challenges in nanomechanics and micromechanics for application development and for basic research and applications. All papers should emphasize original results relating to experimental, theoretical, or computational results, as well as applications of nanomaterials ranging from hard inorganic materials, through soft polymeric and biological materials, to hybrid materials or nanocomposites. The Journal contains research papers, review articles, research letters, and letters to the editor. The subject areas include: nanoparticles, nanocrystals, colloids, sols, and quantum dots; selfassemblies and directed assemblies of molecules and nanoparticles; films, membranes, and coatings; nanotubes, nanowires, nanofibers, nanorods, and nanobelts; nanoporous, mesoporous, and microporous materials; hierarchical structures and molecular-particle networks; surface and interface sciences and engineering; inorganic-organic hybrids or nanocomposites; nanoceramics, metals, and alloys; and nanomaterials atomic, molecular, and bulk characterization techniques. Areas of nanomaterials engineering and applications in general also include chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical technologies; catalysis, gas/liquid separations, and membrane reactors; energy conversion and storage devices/systems such as fuel cells and solar cells; electronics, photonics, and magnetics; sensors; telecommunications and food technologies; and medical, biological, and drug development.
Natural Hazards Review
Aim & ScopeThe Natural Hazards Review addresses the range of events, processes, and consequences that occur when natural hazards interact with the physical, social, economic, and engineered dimensions of communities and the people who live, work, and play in them. As these conditions interact and change, the impact on human communities increases in size, scale, and scope. Such interactions necessarily need to be analyzed from an interdisciplinary perspective that includes both social and technical measures. For decision makers, the risk presents the challenge of managing known hazards, but unknown consequences in time of occurrence, scale of impact, and level of disruption in actual communities with limited resources. The journal is dedicated to bringing together the physical, social, and behavioral sciences; engineering; and the regulatory and policy environments to provide a forum for cutting edge, holistic, and cross-disciplinary approaches to anticipating risk, loss, and cost reduction from natural hazards. The journal welcomes rigorous research on the intersection between social and technical systems that advances concepts of resilience within lifeline and infrastructure systems and the organizations that manage them for all hazards. It offers a professional forum for researchers and practitioners working together to publish the results of truly interdisciplinary and partnered approaches to the anticipation of risk, loss reduction, and community resilience. Engineering topics covered include the characterization of hazard forces and the planning, design, construction, maintenance, performance, and use of structures in the physical environment. Social and behavioral sciences topics include analysis of the impact of hazards on communities and the organizations that seek to mitigate and manage response to hazards. These analyses suggest implications for improving policy performance in disaster environments and mitigation of recurring risks, as well as significant issues related to the built environment such as land use, building standards, and the role of financial markets and insurance. Physical science topics include investigation of the science underlying hazards and the consequent interpretation of these findings for the design of human communities. Importantly, the journal features papers co-authored by researchers who bring a cross-disciplinary perspective to the complex, dynamic factors that contribute to understanding hazards in today's—and especially tomorrow's—world.
