Preface

Abstract

Latin American Journal of Solids and Structures may have noticed that we are already, with this issue, publishing the number 7 of volume 11, 2014. This is due to a steady increase in the number of submissions and in the number of accepted papers. Such a success for this young journal requires that we increase our publication rate. It is so that, as for this year, we will publish 12 numbers, each with 10 articles. This new publication schedule will remain valid for 2015.
