INFORMATIVO ABCM Nº 104/07 – Latin American Journal of Solids and Structures – LAJSS

“Dear readers,

Number 3, Volume 4, September 2007 of the Latin American Journal of Solids and Structures, LAJSS, is now available for free download in www.lajss.org.

This issue publishes the following articles:

Numerical inertia and damping coefficients determination of a tube-bundle in incompressible viscous laminar fluid, by M.V.G. de Morais, F. Baj, R.-J. Gibert and J.-P. Magnaud

A hybrid procedure for cracking, creep, shrinkage and thermal gradient in continuous composite bridges, by Sandeep Chaudhary, Umesh Pendharkar and A.K. Nagpal

A combined continuous-discontinuous finite element method for convection-diffusion problems, by Philippe R. B. Devloo, Tiago Forti and Sonia M. Gomes

Heavy mass projectile impact on thin and moderately thick unidirectional fiber/epoxy laminates, by M. Ganesh Babu, R. Velmurugan and N.K. Gupta

I also draw your attention, in the Preface of this issue, to the important fact that LAJSS has been incorporated to the Science Citation Index Expanded, which is accessed via the Web of Science (end of this year).

Hence, LAJSS enjoys now the status of the only engineering journal in the southern hemisphere to be indexed in such a worldwide data basis.

I hope these news give extra motivation for you to consider LAJSS your next publication media.

Next issue in December.

Enjoy the articles,

Yours sincerely,
