Granular Matter

Journal Title：Granular Matter

Although many phenomena observed in granular materials are still not yet fully understood, important contributions have been made to further our understanding using modern tools from statistical mechanics, micro-mechanics, and computational science.

These modern tools apply to disordered systems, phase transitions, instabilities or intermittent behavior and the performance of discrete particle simulations.

>> Until now, however, many of these results were only to be found scattered throughout the literature. Physicists are often unaware of the theories and results published by engineers or other fields - and vice versa.

The journal Granular Matter thus serves as an interdisciplinary platform of communication among researchers of various disciplines who are involved in the basic research on granular media. It helps to establish a common language and gather articles under one single roof that up to now have been spread over many journals in a variety of fields. Notwithstanding, highly applied or technical work is beyond the scope of this journal.

尽管许多在颗粒材料中观察到的现象仍未完全被理解，但统计力学、微观力学和计算科学等现代工具的使用为进一步理解做出了重要贡献。

这些现代工具适用于无序系统、相变、不稳定性或间歇性行为以及离散粒子模拟的性能。

>>然而，到目前为止，许多这些结果只是散布在文献中。物理学家往往不知道工程师或其他领域发表的理论和结果 - 反之亦然。

因此，《颗粒物质》杂志是参与颗粒介质基础研究的各个学科研究人员之间的跨学科交流平台。它有助于建立一种共同的语言，并将迄今为止分布在各个领域的许多期刊上的文章聚集在一个屋檐下。尽管如此，高度应用或技术性的工作超出了本期刊的范围。

Granular Matter创刊于1998年，由Springer Berlin Heidelberg出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖MATERIALS SCIENCE, MULTIDISCIPLINARY - MECHANICS全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度 较慢,6-12周 ，影响因子指数2.3，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
