Smart Materials And Structures

Journal Title：Smart Materials And Structures

Smart Materials and Structures (SMS) is a multi-disciplinary engineering journal that explores the creation and utilization of novel forms of transduction. It is a leading journal in the area of smart materials and structures, publishing the most important results from different regions of the world, largely from Asia, Europe and North America. The results may be as disparate as the development of new materials and active composite systems, derived using theoretical predictions to complex structural systems, which generate new capabilities by incorporating enabling new smart material transducers. The theoretical predictions are usually accompanied with experimental verification, characterizing the performance of new structures and devices. These systems are examined from the nanoscale to the macroscopic. SMS has a Board of Associate Editors who are specialists in a multitude of areas, ensuring that reviews are fast, fair and performed by experts in all sub-disciplines of smart materials, systems and structures.

A smart material is defined as any material that is capable of being controlled such that its response and properties change under a stimulus. A smart structure or system is capable of reacting to stimuli or the environment in a prescribed manner. SMS is committed to understanding, expanding and dissemination of knowledge in this subject matter.

Smart Materials and Structures (SMS) 是一本多学科的工程期刊，探索新形式的转导的创建和利用。它是智能材料和结构领域的领先期刊，发表来自世界不同地区（主要来自亚洲、欧洲和北美）的最重要成果。结果可能与新材料和活性复合系统的开发一样不同，这些系统是使用对复杂结构系统的理论预测得出的，这些系统通过结合启用新的智能材料传感器来产生新的能力。理论预测通常伴随着实验验证，表征新结构和器件的性能。这些系统从纳米级到宏观进行检查。 SMS 拥有一个由多个领域专家组成的副编辑委员会，确保评审快速、公平，并由智能材料、系统和结构的所有子学科的专家执行。

智能材料被定义为任何能够被控制以使其响应和属性在刺激下发生变化的材料。智能结构或系统能够以规定的方式对刺激或环境作出反应。 SMS 致力于理解、扩展和传播该主题的知识。

Smart Materials And Structures创刊于1992年，由IOP PUBLISHING LTD出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖工程技术 - 材料科学：综合全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度约3.0个月，影响因子指数3.613，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
