Yonggang Huang Doubles Impact Factor of Applied Mechanics Reviews

Yonggang Huang, the Jan and Marcia Achenbach Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Civil and Environmental Engineering, served as the Editor-In-Chief of Applied Mechanics Reviews (AMR) in 2022. Under his leadership, the impact factor of AMR nearly doubled, increasing from between 7 and 8 to 14.3 (as of June 2023).  

Applied Mechanics Reviews is an international review journal that serves as a premier venue for dissemination of material across all sub-disciplines of applied mechanics and engineering science, including fluid and solid mechanics, heat transfer, dynamics and vibration, and applications. This bimonthly publication provides an archival repository for state-of-the-art and retrospective survey articles and reviews of research areas and curricular developments. It invites topical reviews that serve to document recent progress in emerging and long-standing areas of applied mechanics; describe analytical, numerical, and experimental techniques; and point to the need for continued research. Also invited is commentary on research and education policy, as well as original tutorial and educational material in applied mechanics targeting non-specialist audiences, including undergraduate and K-12 students.
