在過去的幾十年中，復合材料在結構應用中的應用取得了顯著進展。毫無疑問，在工程界，復合材料已經徹底改變了傳統(tǒng)的設計理念，并使其成為一種無與倫比的新型和令人興奮的建筑材料。《復合材料結構》是一本國際期刊，它在使用復合材料制造的結構或結構部件的用戶、制造商、設計師和研究人員之間傳播知識。該雜志發(fā)表論文，有助于在工程結構中使用復合材料的知識。論文涉及與復合材料在裝配用承重部件中應用相關的設計、研究和開發(fā)研究、實驗研究、理論分析和制造技術，從板和殼等單個部件到完整的復合結構。

The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
