Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics' aims & scopes have been re-designed to cover both the theoretical, applied, and numerical aspects associated with those cracking related phenomena taking place, at a micro-, meso-, and macroscopic level, in materials/components/structures of any kind.The journal aims to cover the cracking/mechanical behaviour of materials/components/structures in those situations involving both time-independent and time-dependent system of external forces/moments (such as, for instance, quasi-static, impulsive, impact, blasting, creep, contact, and fatigue loading). Since, under the above circumstances, the mechanical behaviour of cracked materials/components/structures is also affected by the environmental conditions, the journal would consider also those theoretical/experimental research works investigating the effect of external variables such as, for instance, the effect of corrosive environments as well as of high/low-temperature.
理论和应用断裂力学的目标和范围已经重新设计，以涵盖理论，应用和数值方面与这些裂纹相关的现象发生，在微观，细观和宏观水平，该期刊旨在涵盖材料/组件/结构在时间无关和时间相关的情况下的开裂/力学行为。外力/力矩相关系统（例如，准静态、脉冲、冲击、爆破、蠕变、接触和疲劳载荷）。由于在上述情况下，开裂材料/组件/结构的机械性能也会受到环境条件的影响，因此该杂志还将考虑调查外部变量影响的理论/实验研究工作，例如腐蚀环境以及高/低温的影响。
