EFM covers a broad range of topics in fracture mechanics to be of interest and use to both researchers and practitioners. Contributions are welcome which address the fracture behavior of conventional engineering material systems as well as newly emerging material systems. Contributions on developments in the areas of mechanics and materials science strongly related to fracture mechanics are also welcome. Papers on fatigue are welcome if they treat the fatigue process using the methods of fracture mechanics.The Editors especially solicit contributions which synthesize experimental and theoretical-computational studies yielding results with direct engineering significance.

EFM涵蓋了斷裂力學(xué)的廣泛主題，供研究人員和從業(yè)者感興趣和使用。歡迎對(duì)傳統(tǒng)工程材料系統(tǒng)以及新出現(xiàn)的材料系統(tǒng)的斷裂行為作出貢獻(xiàn)。也歡迎在與斷裂力學(xué)密切相關(guān)的力學(xué)和材料科學(xué)領(lǐng)域的發(fā)展作出貢獻(xiàn)。如果用斷裂力學(xué)的方法來(lái)處理疲勞過(guò)程的話，關(guān)于疲勞的論文是受歡迎的。編輯們特別是在綜合實(shí)驗(yàn)和理論計(jì)算研究的基礎(chǔ)上，尋求有直接工程意義的成果。
