EFM涵蓋了斷裂力學的廣泛主題，供研究人員和從業者感興趣和使用。歡迎對傳統工程材料系統以及新出現的材料系統的斷裂行為作出貢獻。也歡迎在與斷裂力學密切相關的力學和材料科學領域的發展作出貢獻。如果用斷裂力學的方法來處理疲勞過程的話，關于疲勞的論文是受歡迎的。編輯們特別是在綜合實驗和理論計算研究的基礎上，尋求有直接工程意義的成果。

EFM covers a broad range of topics in fracture mechanics to be of interest and use to both researchers and practitioners. Contributions are welcome which address the fracture behavior of conventional engineering material systems as well as newly emerging material systems. Contributions on developments in the areas of mechanics and materials science strongly related to fracture mechanics are also welcome. Papers on fatigue are welcome if they treat the fatigue process using the methods of fracture mechanics.The Editors especially solicit contributions which synthesize experimental and theoretical-computational studies yielding results with direct engineering significance.
