The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.4 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.3 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 2.2 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00034 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.46 SJR: 0.333 SNIP: 0.606 CiteScore™:: 3.1 H-Index: 31

ABSTRACT

A virtual atom cluster (VAC) model that represents the effect of interatomic bonding is developed as the constitutive model for crystal systems. In contrast with the crystal elasticity model, the proposed VAC model is distinguished by the following features: i) It does not build any constitutive relations that involve any stress concept, and ii) it does not use the homogeneous deformation assumption, or equivalently, the Born hypothesis. As a consequence of these attributes, the energy density of the system is embedded in the VAC model and directly related to the deformation mapping. The deformation mapping is constructed through the use of meshfree or finite element shape functions. The high-order continuity property of the meshfree shape functions guarantees the accuracy in describing the geometry and thus the energy of the atomic bond. The resulting formulation computationally more efficient than the continuum-based approach. Finally, the robustness of the method is illustrated through example problems involving various nanostructures.
