Hi dear mechanicians,

I am about to publish the results of my MSc thesis in a journal. The thing is, my project was carried out in industry about multi-scale FE simulation of impact in composites. So it is merely an industry-level application of available methods.

 I want to ask if any of you have any particular journal in mind, in which publishing such a paper is rather easy (doable) and does not have a long waiting list for review??

Looking forward to your suggestions

Thanx a lot

Dear Collogues,
This is to inform you of the progress of the International Journal of Applied Mechanics (IJAM). Since the launch of the IJAM in Dec. 2008, it has received a substantial number of manuscript submissions from around the world. All manuscript submissions to IJAM are handled electronically via the Editorial Manager (EM) which is one of the industry standard systems. EM system provides a full online solution for manuscript submission, peer-review, and tracking.
