The International Journal of Impact Engineering, established in 1983 publishes original research findings related to the response of structures, components and materials subjected to impact, blast and high-rate loading. Areas relevant to the journal encompass the following general topics and those associated with them:Impact and failure of structures and materials under impact and blast loadingSystems for protection and absorption of impact and blast loadingTerminal ballisticsDynamic material behaviour and failureStress wavesStructural crashworthinessHigh-rate mechanical and forming processesImpact, blast and high-rate loading/measurement techniques and their applicationsManuscripts submitted for publication will be subjected to stringent peer review and assessed for their contribution to scientific understanding of phenomena and the response of structures and materials to impact, blast and high-rate loading. Work resulting in fundamental insights that benefit engineering design to accommodate high-rate loading, is relevant to the journal. Well-designed and well-documented experimental studies that advance knowledge in the response of materials and structures subjected to impact, blast and high-rate loading are of relevance and interest. However, they should be accompanied by analysis of the experimental data and appropriate conclusions. The incorporation of analytical modelling and/or numerical simulations to support the experimental findings, will enhance the depth and quality of the research reported and make it more compelling. Manuscripts that focus primarily on mathematics, materials science or computation, with little contribution to the scope of impact dynamics described above, as well as those of a purely descriptive nature lacking in analysis, will be declined. Papers comprising largely parametric studies (e.g. using commercial software), unaccompanied by convincing validation and discussion of implications or applications of results generated, as well as those on novel computational techniques without comparison with established analysis or test data, are also not solicited. Papers that are essentially case studies or descriptions of designs involving impact or blast loading, as well as dynamic testing which generates copious experimental data without in-depth analysis, should seek publication in journals more directly related to those particular areas.Papers in the International Journal of Impact Engineering should generally be of interest to those in the aeronautical, civil, mechanical, materials, naval, nuclear, ocean, offshore, and transportation engineering fields, as well as those in other science and engineering branches that deal with various aspects of impact, blast and high-rate loading.Companion papers Authors should submit manuscripts that can be reviewed on their own, without assuming that related earlier or subsequent submissions will be published and available for reference. Authors of companion papers should inform the Editor of the reasons why they wish to publish their work in parts.

1983年出版的《國際沖擊工程雜志》發表了有關結構、部件和材料在沖擊、爆炸和高速載荷作用下的響應的原始研究結果。與期刊相關的領域包括以下一般主題及其相關主題：沖擊和爆炸荷載下結構和材料的沖擊和破壞沖擊和爆炸荷載的保護和吸收系統末次彈道學動態材料行為和失效應力波結構耐撞性高速機械和成形工藝沖擊、沖擊和高速加載/測量技術及其應用提交出版的手稿將接受嚴格的同行評審，并評估其對科學理解現象以及結構和材料對沖擊、爆炸和高速率載荷的反應的貢獻。產生有利于工程設計以適應高負荷的基本見解的工作，與期刊有關。精心設計和記錄的實驗研究，提高了材料和結構在受到沖擊、爆炸和高速率載荷時的反應知識，具有相關性和興趣。然而，他們應該伴隨著實驗數據的分析和適當的結論。將分析模型和/或數值模擬結合起來支持實驗結果，將提高報告研究的深度和質量，并使其更加引人注目。主要關注數學、材料科學或計算的手稿，對上述沖擊動力學的范圍貢獻不大，以及那些缺乏分析的純描述性手稿，將被拒絕。論文主要包括參數化研究（例如使用商業軟件），未經令人信服的驗證和討論所產生結果的含義或應用，以及未與已建立的分析或測試數據進行比較的新計算技術，也不受邀。論文本質上是案例研究或涉及沖擊或爆炸荷載的設計描述，以及動態測試，這些測試在沒有深入分析的情況下產生大量實驗數據，應在與這些特定領域更直接相關的期刊上尋求出版。國際沖擊工程雜志上的論文通常應該引起航空、民用、機械、材料、海軍、核、海洋、近海和運輸工程領域的研究者的興趣，也應該引起其他科學和工程部門研究沖擊、爆炸和高速率載荷的各個方面的興趣。G.隨同論文的作者應提交可自行審查的手稿，而不應假定相關的早期或后續提交將被出版并可供參考。同伴論文的作者應該告訴編輯他們為什么要部分地發表他們的作品。
