Thin-walled Structures

Journal Title：Thin-walled Structures

Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.

Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.

The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.

薄壁结构在工程建设中占有重要地位，而且其应用领域也越来越广泛，从飞机、桥梁、船舶、石油钻井平台到储罐、工业建筑和仓库。

许多因素，包括成本和重量经济、新材料和新工艺以及强大的分析方法的发展，都促成了这种增长，并导致需要一本专门关注因壁薄而产生问题的结构的期刊。该领域包括冷弯型材、板壳结构、增强塑料结构和铝结构，在许多工程分支中都很重要。

薄壁结构论文的主要评选标准是，论文必须涉及薄壁结构或薄壁结构固有的基本问题。只要满足这一标准，就不会对结构类型、材料或应用领域施加任何限制。有关理论、实验、设计等方面的论文均已发表，预计许多论文将包含这三个方面的内容。
