Median Review Time of all ASME Journals

Submitted by Yonggang Huang on

I attended an ASME meeting during which the Managing Director of ASME Publishing reported on the ASME publications. 

 

Please find two of his slides related to the ASME journals, in which he singled out JAM for its rapid publication.  The first slide is the median review time (from submission to editor’s final decision) in 2014 for all 27 ASME journals, for which JAM is the fastest -- 2 months (in 2014).  The second slide gives the median review time from 2010 to 2015 for JAM, and the newest data point is 1.2 months for 2015. 

Temperature induced crack propagation in structured media

Submitted by Giorgio Carta on

This paper describes the propagation of an edge crack in a semi-infi nite triangular lattice, consisting of identical point masses connected by thermoelastic links. A change of temperature, represented by a time-periodic series of high-gradient temperature pulses, is applied at the boundary of the lattice. In order to make the initial crack advance in the lattice a failure criterion is imposed, whereby the links break as soon as they attain a prescribed elongation.
