Declining or Waning
- Classical Elasticity Problems:
Traditional studies focused solely on classical elasticity problems are becoming less frequent as researchers shift towards more complex and realistic scenarios involving nonlinear and dynamic behaviors. - Static Analysis without Dynamic Considerations:
There has been a noticeable decrease in papers that exclusively analyze static mechanical systems, as dynamic effects and transient behaviors gain more attention in applied mechanics research. - Simplistic Material Models:
Research employing overly simplistic material models, such as linear elasticity without considering material inhomogeneity or anisotropy, is diminishing as the need for more realistic modeling increases. - Single-Domain Studies:
Papers that focus on a single domain of mechanics without integrating interdisciplinary approaches are becoming less common, reflecting a trend towards comprehensive studies that encompass multiple aspects of mechanics. - Basic Theoretical Expositions:
The journal has seen a decline in publications that solely focus on theoretical expositions without practical applications, as there is a growing demand for studies that bridge theory with real-world applications.
