Structural Membranes 2021 aims to be a forum for discussing recent progress and identifying future research directions in the field of textile composites and inflatable structures.

Structural Membranes 2021 will be supported by the IASS. It will also be a Thematic Conference of the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS) and a Special Interest Conference of the International Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM).

Conference organized by CIMNE Congress Bureau.

The strategic objective of RAMSSES is to obtain recognition and an established role for advanced materials in the European maritime industry. To achieve this, the project follows a two-way strategy, aiming to

• strengthen European leaders by demonstrating full feasibility and by validating the technical and economic properties of innovative material solutions in close-to-reality applications and to

• add value to a wider European maritime community, by improving the exchange of information, technology transfer, extending the knowledge base and developing ways to a faster approval.

The main objective of the journal is to disseminate the scientific and technological developments made in the field of composite materials, which might be of interest to AEMAC and to all other professionals to whom this journal is addressed. Under this scenario, are of special interest for the journal all works developed in Spain, Portugal and Latin America, as well as works from any other origin that might be of interest to be shared in the journal’s forum.

AEMAC organizes biyearly the National Congress on Composite Materials. In this congress all Spanish community working with composite materials shows and shares their most recent developments on the different disciplines related to these materials. It is a compromise of this journal to publish all oral communications presented in the congress with an associated manuscript. These manuscripts will be published in the period between congresses.

Volumes of the Materiales Compuestos journal will be published on a three-month basis. The journal, as well as the papers in it, will be published in open format. This aims to avoid restrictions to the published work and to increase it diffusion among the community.

The journal will also publish monographic volumes dealing with subjects of special interest for the community. These volumes will not have an established periodicity. The proposal of the subjects to be treated by the monographic volumes will come from the editorial team, who is opened to any proposal about the convenience of publishing a monographic dealing with a specific subject. To do so it is necessary to contact the editorial team with an email.

Materiales Compuestos journal will publish papers in Spanish and English, indistictly. However, with the aim of reaching a broader audience, all works published must include an abstract in written in both languages.

Finally, the editorial team encourages journal readers to subscribe to it in order to receive information regarding the publication of new numbers and any other information that might be of their interest.
