Journal of Thermal Stresses

Aims & Scope

The first international journal devoted exclusively to the subject, Journal of Thermal Stresses publishes refereed articles on the theoretical and industrial applications of thermal stresses.

Intended as a forum for those engaged in analytic as well as experimental research, this monthly journal includes papers on mathematical and practical applications.

Emphasis is placed on new developments in thermoelasticity, thermoplasticity, and theory and applications of thermal stresses.

Papers on experimental methods and on numerical methods, including finite element methods, are also published.
