介绍：Materials Science and Engineering A http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/504098/description#description provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to the load-bearing capacity of materials as influenced by their basic properties, processing history, microstructure and operating environment. Appropriate submissions to Materials Science and Engineering A should include scientific and/or engineering factors which affect the microstructure - strength relationships of materials and report the changes to mechanical behavior. The journal does not seek or publish papers on concrete and cement-based systems nor on polymeric and polymer-based materials.
