Journal of Infrastructure, Materials and Mechanical Engineering (JIMME)

About the journal

The Journal of Infrastructure, Materials and Mechanical Engineering publishes peer-reviewed research that makes structures, machines and materials safer, stronger and more efficient. We welcome experimental, numerical and design studies in civil, structural, mechanical, materials, manufacturing and process engineering.

Call for papers: Volume 1 (2026)

We are now accepting submissions for our first volume. Accepted articles are published online as soon as they are ready and receive a Crossref DOI.

Aims and scope

JIMME considers original work in, but not limited to, the following areas. Electrical, electronic, robotics and aerospace work goes to JISAT, and energy systems and environmental engineering to JGTER.

Structural engineering and structural health monitoring
Geotechnical engineering and foundations
Construction engineering and management
Transport infrastructure: roads, rail, bridges and tunnels
Mechanical design, dynamics and vibration
Thermofluids and heat transfer
Materials science, composites and construction materials
Additive and advanced manufacturing
Chemical and process engineering
Reliability, failure analysis and maintenance

Article types

Research article: Original experimental, numerical or analytical studies
Review: Systematic or critical reviews of a field
Technical note: Short results, new test methods or design notes
Case study: Lessons from a specific structure, project or failure

Experimental papers must state the test standards used and the number of specimens. Data, models and simulation input files should be shared where possible so others can verify the results.

Research areas

Every JIMME article belongs to one research area, so readers and reviewers find work in their own field. Choose your research area when you submit.
