EML新年贺词

夏志明 — 2021年1月5日星期二16:20:36 +0000

亲爱的EML的朋友们，

新年快乐!

由于2019冠状病毒病，2020年对所有人来说都是极具挑战性的一年。对我们大多数人来说，封锁和在家工作对我们的研究活动产生了负面影响;对一些人来说，它提供了一个反思我们工作价值的机会;对少数人来说，它提供了一个探索新研究方向的不同寻常的机会。

感谢我们的作者、读者、审稿人和编辑，极限力学通讯(EML)在大流行期间继续为研究界服务。以下是EML的数据状况:我们在2020年发表了266篇文章，而2019年和2018年分别为90篇和91篇;提交给EML的文件比2019年的水平翻了一番，比2018年的水平翻了两倍;我们的第二个影响因子为4.806(2019)，高于2018年影响因子的4.075; our articles received significant social media attention, including one article published in 2020 mentioned by 298 outlets; our articles continued to attract attention of researchers, and were downloaded about 200,000 times in 2020.

Our proudest achievement in 2020, however, is the EML Webinar Series. Acting upon an initiative by EML’s Co-Editor-in-Chief, Professor Zhigang Suo, we launched the Series in the middle of the pandemic in April 2020 on the Zoom platform. The Series presents leading researchers on various EML-related topics every Wednesday. To our pleasant surprise, the Series attracted a sizable following, more than 1,500 live audience for a number of webinars, and thousands more watching the recorded videos. One unique feature of the webinars is its extended Q&A and discussion lasting up to two hours after the presentations, covering topics not only related to the presentations but also on broader research perspectives and even career advice for young researchers. The wisdoms of the leading researchers are unbelievably rich, benefitting young and seasoned researchers alike. Some EML webinar presenters also published a brief summary of their presentations with detailed references for easy citation.

The new year of 2021 is upon us. There will be new challenges but also new opportunities. We the TEAM EML will continue to work hard to serve the community by providing a dynamic platform for researchers to publish their best work. We will continue the EML Webinar Series on Wednesdays, and explore innovative ways to enhance the exchange of ideas and research results in the post-pandemic “new norm”. We look forward to working with all of you in 2021 to further elevate EML to be a flagship journal of our community.

Our best wishes to you all for a happy and rewarding 2021!

EML第19卷出版了

夏志明 — 2018年3月1日星期四18:56:03 +0000

EML第19卷出了，有7篇论文。光是看书名就很吸引人!有关于复杂结构中相互作用引起的机械行为的论文，如囊泡(覆盖)中的纳米纤维，具有层次同步变形的新结构，以及机械化学增强复合材料。低温材料的研究从孪生磷烯到单层硼烯。还有关于方法(双核磁共振全体积位移映射)和设备(摩擦发电机)的论文。等不及要看内容了!

Does the baby girl have big eyes like her mother? Or does the baby boy have little hair on his head like his father? Or the baby is just different, different from all other children, and beautifully so.

Now 12 articles are available online on ScienceDirect (see http://www.journals.elsevier.com/extreme-mechanics-letters/, recent articles). I have to confess that I am in fact pleased with what I see. Here are some observations:

Although all papers address mechanical aspects of some phenomena, they are quite interdisciplinary, and not necessarily mechanics-centric;
Many papers address issues in important areas to the society such as bio/medical science (mechanics of healthy and diseased human red blood cells), micro-nanotechnology (stress evolution in thin films and plasticity in micro-pillars), energy materials (stresses in lithium-ion battery materials), interesting mechanics phenomena (patterns in elastic sewing machine), and various phenomena in soft materials (Ca2+ triggered stress generation in hydrogels, toughening of hydrogels, etc.);
The percentage of experimental papers seems to be higher than that in other mechanics journals.

Is this good or bad? I don’t know, since I cannot predict the impact of these papers. But I think it is interesting.

Was this by design? No. We cannot control what you submit.

What will EML be like as it grows? The answer is in your hands.

So EML is born. It is YOUR baby! Please join these authors to help shape the future of EML.
