The Journal of Mechanics of Materials and Structures is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on the mechanics of materials and deformable structures of all types. It was established by Charles R. Steele, who was also the first editor-in-chief.
History
The journal was established in 2006 after 21 of the 23 members of the editorial board of the International Journal of Solids and Structures resigned in protest of Elsevier's "pressure for increased profits out of the limited institutional resources."{{cite web |last=Steele |first=Charles R. |title=Background of JoMMS |url=http://imechanica.org/node/1531#comment-3251 |work=iMechanica: Web of mechanics and mechanicians |publisher=Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences |accessdate=23 May 2012}}{{cite web |title=Journal declarations of independence |url=http://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/Journal_declarations_of_independence#2005 |work=Open Access Directory |location=US |publisher= Simmons School of Library and Information Science |oclc=757073363 |accessdate=23 May 2012}} In their founding issue, the editors of the new journal indicated several desires for the publication, including, "a low subscription price that will not grow faster than the number of pages and indeed may drop as the subscriber base expands."{{cite journal |last=Steele |first=Charles |author2=Steele, Marie-Louise |title=To our readers and authors |journal=Journal of Mechanics of Materials and Structures |date=1 May 2006 |volume=1 |issue=1 |pages=1 |doi=10.2140/jomms.2006.1.1|doi-access=free }}
