R. China CALL FOR MANUSCRIPTS The International Journal of Applied Mechanics and Aerospace (IJAMA) publishes as rapidly as possible manuscripts of high standard quality original research papers and survey articles through electronic submission and reviewing. It provides a fast communication platform among researchers in all applied mechanics and serospace, with particular emphasis in the integration of theory and applications. It is intended that the journal should act as an interdisciplinary forum for mechanics and its applications. Innovative applications and material that brings together diverse areas of mechanics are particularly welcome. In order to cover as wide an audience as possible, all kind of original works are encouraged. All papers will be in peer-reviewed.
