International Journal of Structural Changes in Solids

Mechanics and Applications

 An open access journal

Volume 1 No.1, 2009

Inaugural Issue :: in honor of Prof.Alan Wineman

www.ijscs.org

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We take this opportunity to honor his years of commitment to the growth of mechanics. In a career spanning over 4 decades, he has worked extensively in wide range of topics from the general development of symmetry groups for history dependent materials, nonlinear viscoelastic solids, electrorheological fluids, diffusion and swelling of polymers, multinetwork theories to model the degradation of polymers, internal clock models etc.  A brief bio-data of Prof.Wineman is given separately in the issue.

Issue articles are now available online at the journal website: www.ijscs.org.   The journal is an open access journal.

We need support from the mechanicians by submitting articles to the journal (see journal website www.ijscs.org).  We are very sure that the journal will go a long way towards making it a great place for students and researchers to begin their search. 

Forthcoming issue will be thematic with the theme on:  MECHANICS OF SOFT MATERIALS AND TISSUES

We solicit your suggestions and ideas to make this effort of running an international journal even better.

Best wishes,

Sincerely,
Arun R. Srinivasa and Srivakumar M. Srinivasan
