Advanced Materials and Structures

Aims and Scope

Advanced Materials and Structures (AMS) is a peer-reviewed international journal, published quarterly, dedicated to publishing original research that advances the understanding and development of advanced engineering materials, components, and structures with superior mechanical or functional properties. The journal focuses on the following core areas:

1. Elucidating the relationships among microstructure, processing, properties, and performance, and
2. Innovating the design, synthesis, and manufacturing of advanced materials and structures. Manuscripts submitted to Advanced Materials and Structures must demonstrate how a fundamental understanding of the chemical and physical phenomena underlying material microstructure development and processing or manufacturing routes directs the design of novel materials and structures with targeted properties. Authors are expected to substantiate enhanced performance through advanced characterization techniques, rigorous theoretical calculations, physical or mathematical modeling, or computer simulations. All simulations must be validated with experimental data.

The journal encompasses a wide range of materials, including constructional, structural, bio-related (bioinert and bioactive), nanoscale (1D, 2D, 3D, nanocrystalline, or nanocomposite), and functional materials. These include metallic, ceramic, polymeric, intermetallic, amorphous, and composite materials developed through conventional and advanced manufacturing processes, such as additive manufacturing, laser-assisted technologies, and plasma-assisted techniques.
