The Journal of Strain Analysis for Engineering Design provides a forum for work relating to the measurement and analysis of strain that is appropriate to engineering design and practice."Since launching in 1965, The Journal of Strain Analysis has been a collegiate effort, dedicated to providing exemplary service to our authors. We welcome contributions related to analytical, experimental, and numerical techniques for the analysis and/or measurement of stress and/or strain, or studies of relevant material properties and failure modes. Our international Editorial Board contains experts in all of these fields and is keen to encourage papers on novel techniques and innovative applications."
