International Journal of Aerospace and Lightweight Structures (IJALS)

The journal has as its objective the publication and wide electronic dissemination of innovative and consequential research in aerospace, vehicle, ship and ocean engineering. It welcomes high-quality original research papers in all aspects of aerospace and lightweight structures from contributors throughout the world. The journal also serves as an effective tool for promoting scientific exchange between world active scientists in the field of aerospace and lightweight structures.

The journal aims to promote international exchange of new knowledge and recent development in aspects of aerospace, vehicle, ship and ocean engineering. Topics of interest include strength and vibration of structures, mechanical behavior of materials, dynamics and vibration control, fluid-structure interaction, etc.. The journal solicits contributions from scientists, engineers and others who are directly or indirectly involved in the promotion of aerospace and lightweight structures in the form of full length paper or technical note. It explores analytical, computational and experimental progresses in all the above mentioned areas.
