Strength, Fracture and Complexity (SFC)

Strength, Fracture and Complexity is an international, quarterly peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to advancing knowledge of material behavior under stress, deformation, and fracture through the lens of complexity science. Since its first issue in 2003, the journal has served as a specialized platform for high-quality theoretical, computational, and experimental research exploring how materials resist load and fail under diverse conditions — from nano-scale structures to large engineering systems. The journal’s scope includes interdisciplinary studies that integrate multi-scale mechanics, fracture theory, continuum modeling, and empirical investigations, making it relevant to researchers in mechanical engineering, materials science, condensed matter physics, and related disciplines. By welcoming innovative paradigms and investigations that bridge scales and methods, Strength, Fracture and Complexity fosters scientific dialogue on fundamental fracture phenomena and practical engineering challenges. Its editorial leadership comprises internationally recognized scholars, ensuring rigorous review standards and diverse expertise. Indexed in major databases such as Scopus and Emerging Sources Citation Index, the journal contributes to academic progress in understanding the complex interplay of forces that govern material strength and fracture behavior in modern science and technology.
