SPECIAL ISSUES
The Journal of Strain Analysis for Engineering Design has an active programme of Special Issues on topics of particular interest. The Special Issues planned for 2010 include: 'Mechanics of micro-deformation, texture and failure', and 'Analysis of High Strain Rate, Impact and Shock Loading'
2009, Vol. 44
Strain and Deformation in Nanoscale Objects, Special Section in issue JSA7. Edited by Eann Patterson.
Opportunities arise from the prospect of using nanotechnology to obtain comprehensive, reliable data during service from devices and structures at all scales in order to make better structural prognoses. This outlook prompted the editors of JSA to commission a group of papers on strain and deformation at the nano-scale, even though the topic is still in its infancy. The result is this group of four, very different papers reflecting the broad potential impact of nanotechnology on strain analysis for engineering design.

Strain Analysis in Soft Tissues, issue JSA5. Guest Edited by Mark Thompson.
A mechanical understanding of the function of the human body is central to the development and design of new and improved ways of detecting, monitoring, and treating disease and injury. The complex structure of soft tissues gives rise to special demands and constraints in the analysis of their mechanical behaviour. This special issue collects together reviews and reports of new techniques for analysis of the mechanical behaviour of soft tissues.

Thermal Techniques for Stress Analysis and Damage Assessment, (Special Issue in Honour of Emeritus Professor Peter Stanley), issue JSA6. Guest Edited by Janice Dulieu-Barton.
This collection of high-quality papers clearly demonstrate the range of current activities in the area of thermal stress analysis, and highlight the challenges that remain in providing a better fundamental understanding of the physics and mechanics of thermoelasticity.
