INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CRASHWORTHINESS

International Journal of Crashworthiness is the only journal covering all matters relating to the crashworthiness of road vehicles (including cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles), rail vehicles, air and spacecraft, ships and submarines, and on- and off-shore installations. The Journal provides a unique forum for the publication of original research and applied studies relevant to an audience of academics, designers and practicing engineers. International Journal of Crashworthiness publishes both original research papers (full papers and short communications) and state-of-the-art reviews. International Journal of Crashworthiness welcomes papers that address the quality of response of materials, body structures and energy-absorbing systems that are subjected to sudden dynamic loading, papers focused on new crashworthy structures, new concepts in restraint systems and realistic accident reconstruction. Articles will reflect the importance of computer modelling, as well as the development of human surrogates in impact simulation and prediction of vehicle and passenger response. Papers on impact biomechanics, covering human response, mechanics of injury and occupant protection in general, are also welcomed. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via Editorial Manager .
