Aims & Scope

Aims:

The Dynamics and Design of Architectured Materials (DDAM) journal aims to be a leading international platform for publishing high-impact, interdisciplinary research that advances the fundamental understanding and technological innovation in mechanical, civil, and materials engineering. By bridging the broad fields, the journal promotes cross-disciplinary research encompassing elastic, acoustic, fluidic, thermal, and electromagnetic systems. Emphasis is placed on theoretical, numerical, design, and experimental contributions, ranging from fundamental mechanics, dynamics and physics to computational modeling, manufacturing, and device-level applications. Published quarterly by Scilight Press, the journal serves as a hub for innovations in mechanics of materials, linear and nonlinear dynamics, vibration and wave manipulation, energy conversion, and smart responsive materials.
