Top 10 Mechanics of Materials Journals In The World 2026

1. Nature Materials

Nature Materials is a monthly multi-disciplinary journal aimed at bringing together cutting-edge research across the entire spectrum of materials science and engineering. Materials research is a diverse and fast-growing discipline, which has moved from a largely applied, engineering focus to a position where it has an increasing impact on other classical disciplines such as physics, chemistry and biology. Nature Materials covers all applied and fundamental aspects of the synthesis/processing, structure/composition, properties and performance of materials, where "materials" are ide more...

2. International Materials Reviews

International Materials Reviews publishes peer-reviewed critical assessments of the literature on all aspects of materials science and engineering. Its aim is to provide timely, authoritative introductions to current thinking, developments and research in carefully selected topics. Leading edge reviews provide a concise overview of rapidly developing areas of the discipline, while maintaining the journal's high standard of rigour and critical assessment. Most reviews are invited by the Editors but proposals for reviews are welcomed. more...

3. Journal of Magnesium and Alloys

The Journal of Magnesium and Alloys provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies in magnesium science and engineering. Appropriate submissions to the Journal of Magnesium and Alloys include studies that investigate scientific and/or engineering factors that affect the metallurgy, processing, microstructure, properties, and applications of magnesium and alloys and reports that contribute to the body of knowledge by documenting the thinking, philosophy, and strategies of magnesium science and engineering. The Journal of Magnesium and Alloys covers all aspects of magnesium and alloys more...

4. Materials Horizons

Materials Horizons is a leading journal for the publication of exceptionally high quality, innovative materials science.The journal places an emphasis on original research that demonstrates a new concept or a new way of thinking (a conceptual advance), rather than primarily reporting technological improvements. However, outstanding articles featuring truly breakthrough developments such as record performance of materials alone may also be published in the journal. For work to be published it must be of significant general interest to our community-spanning readership.  more...

5. Nano Materials Science

Nano Materials Science (NMS) is an international and interdisciplinary, open access, scholarly journal. NMS publishes peer-reviewed original articles and reviews on nanoscale material science and nanometer devices, with topics encompassing preparation and processing; high-throughput characterization; material performance evaluation and application of material characteristics such as the microstructure and properties of one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional nanostructured and nanofunctional materials; design, preparation, and processing techniques; and performance evaluation technology and nanometer device applications. The scope of this journal includes fundamental research on phenomena, mechanisms, more...

6. International Journal of Lightweight Materials and Manufacture

The International Journal of Lightweight Materials and Manufacture is an open access journal that provides a high-quality platform for academic researchers and industrial engineers working with lightweight materials and manufacturing technologies to publish full-length research papers on original and rigorous work. Each paper is subjected to a rigorous but rapid peer-review process by experts with strong reputations in their research fields. Review papers and short communications are also welcome. more...

7. International Journal of Minerals, Metallurgy and Materials

International Journal of Minerals, Metallurgy and Materials (Formerly known as Journal of University of Science and Technology Beijing, Mineral, Metallurgy, Material) provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to the fields of Minerals, Metallurgy and Materials. Papers dealing with minerals processing, mining, mine safety, environmental pollution and protection of mines, process metallurgy, metallurgical physical chemistry, structure and physical properties of materials, corrosion and resistance of materials, are viewed as suitable for publication. more...

8. Journal of Hydrodynamics

The Journal of Hydrodynamics reflects the research activities in various areas of hydrodynamics related to ocean and ship engineering, environmental engineering, water conservancy and hydropower engineering, energy exploration, ocean and environmental engineering, and chemical engineering. These cover ship hydrodynamics, wave load and fluid-solid interactions, turbulence and boundary layer, cavitating flow and cavitation mechanics, multi-phase flow, pipe flow and open ditch flow, convection and diffusion, heat and mass transfer, bio-fluid mechanics, permeation fluid mechanics and other frontier disciplines. more...

9. Acta Mechanica Solida Sinica

Acta Mechanica Solida Sinica is an international journal focused on solid mechanics, providing original, perspective and even breakthrough theories and methods for the research in the area. The Journal is devoted to the publication of research papers in English in all fields of solid-state mechanics and its related disciplines in science, technology and engineering, with a balanced coverage on analytical, experimental, numerical and applied investigations. Articles, short communications, discussions on previously published papers, and reviews are published bimonthly. more...

10. Bulletin of Materials Science

The Bulletin of Materials Science is a bi-monthly journal being published by the Indian Academy of Sciences in collaboration with the Materials Research Society of India and the Indian National Science Academy. The journal publishes original research articles, review articles and rapid communications in all areas of materials science. The journal also publishes from time to time important Conference Symposia/ Proceedings which are of interest to materials scientists. It has an International Advisory Editorial Board and an Editorial Committee. The more...
