Engineering Failure Analysis publishes original, high quality research papers, communications, and occasional review articles describing the analysis of engineering failures and related studies. Papers relating to the structure, properties and behaviour of engineering materials are encouraged, particularly those which also involve the detailed application of materials parameters to problems in engineering structures, components and design. In addition to the area of materials engineering, the interacting fields of mechanical, manufacturing, aeronautical, civil, chemical, corrosion and design engineering are considered relevant. Activity should be directed at analysing engineering failures and carrying out research to help reduce the incidences of failures and to extend the operating horizons of engineering materials. Emphasis is placed on the mechanical properties of materials and their behaviour when influenced by structure, process and environment. Metallic, polymeric, ceramic and natural materials are all included and the application of these materials to real engineering situations should be emphasised. The use of a case-study based approach is also encouraged. Engineering Failure Analysis provides essential reference material and critical feedback into the design process thereby contributing to the prevention of engineering failures in the future. All submissions will be subject to peer review from leading experts in the field. This journal is now included in the new online alerting service - Structural Integrity Alert - which forms part of the Structural Integrity Network. To access SiNET just go to http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/sinet Related Conference The International Congress on Fracture is a series of meetings held every 4 years. The conference scope is sure to be of interest to readers of Engineering Fracture Mechanics, Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics, International Journal of Fatigue, Engineering Failure Analysis, International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping, NDT&E, Journal of the Mechanics & Physics of Solids, International Journal of Solids & Structures, Mechanics of Materials and related mechanics/materials titles. All interested researchers in the mechanics and mechanisms of fracture, fatigue and strength of solids are invited to submit a paper to the next ICF and/or attend as a delegate.

工程失敗分析發表原創的、高質量的研究論文、通信和偶爾的評論文章，描述工程失敗分析和相關的研究。鼓勵編寫與工程材料的結構、性能和性能有關的論文，特別是那些涉及將材料參數詳細應用于工程結構、部件和設計問題的論文。除了材料工程領域外，機械、制造、航空、民用、化學、腐蝕和設計工程等相互作用的領域也被認為是相關的。活動應針對分析工程故障和開展研究，以幫助減少故障發生率和擴大工程材料的使用范圍。在結構、工藝和環境的影響下，重點研究材料的力學性能及其性能。金屬材料、聚合材料、陶瓷材料和天然材料都包括在內，應強調這些材料在實際工程中的應用。還鼓勵采用基于案例研究的方法。工程失效分析為設計過程提供了必要的參考材料和關鍵反饋，從而有助于今后預防工程失效。所有提交的材料將接受該領域主要專家的同行審查。該期刊現在被納入新的在線報警服務——結構完整性警報——構成結構完整性網絡的一部分。http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/sinet剛剛參加的國際骨折大會是每四年舉行一次的一系列會議。會議范圍肯定會引起工程斷裂力學、理論和應用斷裂力學、國際疲勞學刊、工程失效分析、國際壓力容器和管道學刊、ndt&e、固體力學和物理學刊的讀者的興趣。國際固體和結構、材料力學及相關機械/材料期刊。所有對固體的斷裂、疲勞和強度的機理和機制感興趣的研究人員都被邀請向下一個icf提交論文和（或）作為代表出席。
