What it does

Composites Part B Engineering is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when targeting Composites Part B: Engineering or deciding whether a composite-materials or composite-structures manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the composites-science bar spanning materials and structures, characterization and validation rigor, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Targeting Composites Part B: Engineering
  • Deciding whether a composite-materials
  • Composite-structures manuscript fits this venue

Example prompts

  • “/composites-part-b-engineering”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Composites Part B Engineering loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 802 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use when targeting Composites Part B: Engineering or deciding whether a composite-materials or composite-structures manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the composites-science bar spanning materials and structures, characterization and validation rigor, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

Composites Part B: Engineering (composites-part-b-engineering)

Journal positioning

Composites Part B: Engineering is a leading archival journal for composite materials and structures, with a broad scope spanning mechanics, manufacturing, characterization, multifunctional and bio-based composites, and structural applications. Its center of gravity is a genuine composites-science contribution — an advance in understanding or capability that crosses from material to structure — supported by rigorous experiment and, where relevant, modeling. The breadth is intentional: a strong paper can be about a new composite material, a manufacturing route, a failure mechanism, or a structural concept, provided the composites-specific insight is clear. Papers that report a marginally improved laminate with no mechanism, or a generic mechanics study where the composite is incidental, are a weak fit. This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing tool. It does not replace the journal's current official author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Composites Part B Guide for Authors.

When to trigger

  • The author names Composites Part B for a composite-materials or composite-structures manuscript and wants a fit/framing check.
  • A paper must be re-framed from "we made a slightly better laminate" into a composites-science mechanism, manufacturing, or structural contribution.
  • The author is choosing between Composites Part B and a metallurgy, plasticity, or AM-focused venue.
  • The author needs the journal's composites-rigor bar and desk-reject heuristics.

Scope & topic fit

  • Mechanics of composites: damage, delamination, fatigue, impact, and failure of laminated, woven, and 3D composites with a mechanism contribution.
  • Composite manufacturing and processing: layup, infusion, automated placement, cure, and AM of composites when the process–property link is established.
  • Characterization and multiscale modeling: micro/meso/macro behavior, interfaces, and validated predictive models of composite response.
  • Multifunctional composites: structural composites with electrical, thermal, sensing, self-healing, or energy functionality.
  • Bio-based, recyclable, and sustainable composites: natural-fiber and bio-derived systems with a materials or structural advance.
  • Composite structures and applications: joints, sandwich and architected structures, and structural concepts where the composite behavior is central.

Method & evidence bar

  • The central claim is a composites-specific advance — a mechanism, a manufacturing capability, or a structural concept — not a marginal property bump in one laminate.
  • Characterization must be appropriate and quantitative: mechanical data with proper statistics and test standards, damage/microstructure imaging with sampling, and interface/constituent characterization where relevant.
  • Models (micromechanics, FE, multiscale) must be validated against experiment and explain the composite behavior, not curve-fit a single dataset.
  • Property and performance claims must be benchmarked against the correct baseline composite or conventional material, and explained by the governing mechanism.
  • For multifunctional/sustainable claims, demonstrate the function or sustainability benefit quantitatively, not by assertion.
  • Reproducibility: report constituents, layup/architecture, processing, and testing protocol in enough detail to reproduce the material and the measurement.

Structure & house style

  • Standard full-length research-article structure; Composites Part B publishes archival articles — re-check article types on the live guide.
  • The introduction motivates the composites gap (mechanism, manufacturing, function), not a generic application; the discussion makes the material-to-structure argument explicit.
  • Figures are load-bearing: damage and microstructure images with scale bars, mechanical plots with error bars, model-vs-experiment overlays, and schematics of the failure or functional mechanism.
  • Notation and test methods follow composites-engineering conventions and cite the relevant standards.
  • Supplementary material carries extended characterization and full processing details; the main-text figures must support the central composites insight on their own.

Official-submission checklist

  • Before giving submission-ready advice, read ../../resources/source-basis.md and ../../resources/official-source-map.md; start from the Elsevier anchors, then cite the current Composites Part B Guide for Authors page you checked.
  • Search the live site for "Composites Part B Engineering guide for authors" and follow the current Elsevier/Editorial Manager version.
  • Re-check article types, length/figure expectations, and the data-availability policy for characterization and test data.
  • Confirm highlights, graphical-abstract, and any structured-abstract requirement.
  • Re-check competing-interests, funding, author-contribution (CRediT), and AI-use disclosure requirements.
  • If the live official instructions conflict with this skill, the official instructions win.

Pre-submission self-check

  • The contribution is a composites-specific advance (mechanism / manufacturing / structure / function), not a marginal laminate improvement.
  • Characterization is quantitative and standards-based with reported statistics and sampling.
  • Any model is validated against experiment and explains the composite behavior.
  • Property/function claims are benchmarked against the correct baseline and mechanistically explained.
  • Multifunctional/sustainable claims are demonstrated quantitatively, not asserted.
  • The article type and length fit Composites Part B's archival format.

Common desk-reject triggers

  • A marginally improved laminate with no mechanism or composites-specific insight.
  • Characterization by representative images only, with no quantification or test standards.
  • Models presented without experimental validation or used to fit a single dataset.
  • Multifunctional or sustainability claims asserted without quantitative demonstration.
  • Scope mismatch: a generic solid-mechanics, metallurgy, or device paper where the composite is incidental.
  • Better framed as a fundamental-mechanics, metallurgy, or AM-process contribution.

Re-routing decision

  • Fundamental solid-mechanics theory where the composite is incidental → journal-of-the-mechanics-and-physics-of-solids.
  • Constitutive/plasticity modeling as the core → international-journal-of-plasticity.
  • Microstructure-first metallurgy of a metal-matrix system → acta-materialia.
  • AM of composites where the AM process is the focus → additive-manufacturing.
  • Highest-impact conceptual materials advance for a broad audience → nature-materials.
