Some funding agencies require that articles be published only in journals with impact factors greater than 1. Here's a list from 2012 that tells you which to choose (if you care about impact factors).

The 20th International Conference on Wear of Materials will focus on both the fundamental and applied aspects of wear and friction of materials at the macro-, micro-, and nano-scale. It will address the understanding of tribological phenomena; particularly the progress in recent decades and a special session will concentrate on modeling of wear.
A detailed report of our work on trying to find cohesive laws for interfacial fracture is attached. I will add the experimental data after a shorter version of this report has been published.
The reason for posting this report on iMechanica is so that people who want to replicate the tests or perform similar tests know what is involved. As we have found out, many details and potential problems faced by an experimentalist are hard to determine from the concise papers that are typically published as journal articles.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering
at the University of Wyoming invites applications for a tenure-track faculty
position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in the area of computational
materials science. The successful
applicant will be expected to establish an externally funded research program, develop
collaboration within the Department and College, mentor graduate students, and teach
at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Minimum qualifications include an earned doctorate in mechanical
We would like to draw your attention to the advanced course at the International Centre for Mechanical Sciences (CISM) to be held in Udine (Italy) from September 8 through 12, 2014 on the topic of: "FERROIC FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS: EXPERIMENT, MODELING AND SIMULATION". The advanced course will comprise of distinguished lectures from the following experts:
- Kaushik Bhattacharya (Caltech, USA)
- Manfred Fiebig (ETH Zurich, Switzerland)
- John Huber (University of Oxford, UK)
- Doru C. Lupascu (University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany)
In armchair graphene sheets, crack propagates perpendicular to the applied strain, whereas crack propagation in zigzag sheets occurs at an angle to the straining direction. This occurs due to different bond structure along armchair and zigzag directions as shown in Fig. 1. Videos 1 and 2 show the fracture of armchair and zigzag sheets, respectively.
