JOURNAL METRICS

Impact Factor (JCR) 2022: 0.8 ℹImpact Factor (JCR):

The JCR provides quantitative tools for ranking, evaluating, categorizing, and comparing journals. The impact factor is one of these; it is a measure of the frequency with which the “average article” in a journal has been cited in a particular year or period. The annual JCR impact factor is a ratio between citations and recent citable items published. Thus, the impact factor of a journal is calculated by dividing the number of current year citations to the source items published in that journal during the previous two years.

5-Year Impact Factor: 0.5 ℹ5-Year Impact Factor:

A 5-Year Impact Factor shows the long-term citation trend for a journal. This is calculated differently from the Journal Impact Factor, so it is not simply an average of the Impact Factors in the time period. The Impact Factor itself is based only on Web of Science Core Collection citation data from the last three years and thus reflects only recent impact. The Journal Impact Factor is the average number of times articles from the journal published in the past two years have been cited in the Journal Citation Reports year.

CiteScore 2022: 1.5 ℹCiteScore:

CiteScore is the number of citations received by a journal in one year to documents published in the three previous years, divided by the number of documents indexed in Scopus published in those same three years.

SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) 2022: 0.204 ℹSCImago Journal Rank (SJR):

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) 2022: 0.428 ℹSource Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP):

SNIP measures a source’s contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field. It helps you make a direct comparison of sources in different subject fields. SNIP takes into account characteristics of the source's subject field, which is the set of documents citing that source.

Abstract:

The aim of this experimental work is the joining of similar materials of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) using the friction stir welding process. A Full-factorial design was used as a statistical approach to analyze the effect of processing parameters on mechanical behavior of welded joint. The welding parameters considered in this study were rotational speed in five levels and traverse speeds in three levels. The strength of welded samples was characterized by tensile test. In addition, temperature measurements were carried out to determine the peak temperature in the joining zone. The results have showed the dependence of tensile strength and peak temperature on rotational speed. A maximum tensile strength was achieved at optimum rotational speed value. Moreover, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicates that rotational speed is the most influenced parameter in strength of joints.
