Journal Title：Smart Materials And Structures

Smart Materials and Structures (SMS) is a multi-disciplinary engineering journal that explores the creation and utilization of novel forms of transduction. It is a leading journal in the area of smart materials and structures, publishing the most important results from different regions of the world, largely from Asia, Europe and North America. The results may be as disparate as the development of new materials and active composite systems, derived using theoretical predictions to complex structural systems, which generate new capabilities by incorporating enabling new smart material transducers. The theoretical predictions are usually accompanied with experimental verification, characterizing the performance of new structures and devices. These systems are examined from the nanoscale to the macroscopic. SMS has a Board of Associate Editors who are specialists in a multitude of areas, ensuring that reviews are fast, fair and performed by experts in all sub-disciplines of smart materials, systems and structures.

A smart material is defined as any material that is capable of being controlled such that its response and properties change under a stimulus. A smart structure or system is capable of reacting to stimuli or the environment in a prescribed manner. SMS is committed to understanding, expanding and dissemination of knowledge in this subject matter.

《智能材料與結(jié)構(gòu)》（SMS）是一本多學(xué)科工程期刊，探討新型傳導(dǎo)形式的創(chuàng)造和利用。它是智能材料與結(jié)構(gòu)領(lǐng)域的領(lǐng)先期刊，發(fā)表來(lái)自世界不同地區(qū)（主要來(lái)自亞洲、歐洲和北美）的最重要成果。這些成果可能各不相同，從使用理論預(yù)測(cè)得出的新材料和主動(dòng)復(fù)合系統(tǒng)的開(kāi)發(fā)到復(fù)雜的結(jié)構(gòu)系統(tǒng)，這些系統(tǒng)通過(guò)結(jié)合新的智能材料傳感器產(chǎn)生新功能。理論預(yù)測(cè)通常伴隨著實(shí)驗(yàn)驗(yàn)證，表征新結(jié)構(gòu)和設(shè)備的性能。這些系統(tǒng)從納米級(jí)到宏觀都經(jīng)過(guò)檢驗(yàn)。SMS 有一個(gè)副主編委員會(huì)，他們是多個(gè)領(lǐng)域的專(zhuān)家，確保評(píng)審快速、公平，并由智能材料、系統(tǒng)和結(jié)構(gòu)所有子學(xué)科的專(zhuān)家進(jìn)行。

智能材料是指任何能夠被控制的材料，其響應(yīng)和屬性在刺激下會(huì)發(fā)生變化。智能結(jié)構(gòu)或系統(tǒng)能夠以規(guī)定的方式對(duì)刺激或環(huán)境作出反應(yīng)。 SMS 致力于理解、擴(kuò)展和傳播該主題的知識(shí)。

Smart Materials And Structures創(chuàng)刊于1992年，由IOP Publishing Ltd.出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋工程技術(shù) - 材料科學(xué)：綜合全領(lǐng)域，此刊是中等級(jí)別的SCI期刊，所以過(guò)審相對(duì)來(lái)講不是特別難，但是該刊專(zhuān)業(yè)認(rèn)可度不錯(cuò)，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 約3.0個(gè)月 ，影響因子指數(shù)3.7，該期刊近期沒(méi)有被列入國(guó)際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
