2. Formatting of manuscript components

2.1. TITLE

The manuscript title is centered at the top of the page in 16 pt bold, all caps. Keep titles brief and descriptive. Spell out acronyms unless they are widely known. Avoid starting with articles or prepositions, e.g., “The study of … ,” or, “On the ….”

2.2. Author affiliations

The author list is in 12 pt regular, centered. Do not use titles and degrees such as Dr., Prof., Ph.D., etc. The author's affiliation and address for correspondence should be clearly noted in the Footnote.

2.3. Section headings

Section headings are 12 pt bold capitals, left justified. Sections numbers have whole numbers, e.g., 1, 2, 3… Don't number the "Acknowledgements" and "References." Headings often used are: 1. Introduction, 2. Methodology, 3. Data, 4. Results, and 5. Conclusions.

2.4. Subsection heading

Subsection headings are left-justified, 12 pt, bold. The first word, acronyms, and proper nouns are capitalized.

2.5. Text and paragraphs

Text is 12 points and justified. It is recommended to use the "DCB Main" style. Each sentence ends with a period and a single space before the next sentence. Do not add a blank line above and below section headings and between paragraphs. Avoid headings or one-line paragraphs at the top or bottom of a page by using page breaks or extra blank lines.

2.6. Figures and tables

Both figures and tables are centred. For figures use and insert .jpg, .tiff, or .gif illustrations instead of PowerPoint or graphic constructions. The captions of figures are below and the caption of table are above the table. Figure and table examples are on page 2 and below.

3. Equations

IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE THE MS EQUATION EDITOR, BUILT-IN MS WORD, WITHOUT CHANGING ITS DEFAULT SETTINGS – FONT TIMES NEW ROMAN, SIZE 12 PT. A MATH REFERENCE IN A PARAGRAPH SENTENCE SUCH AS [pic] IS NOT NUMBERED. WHEN AN EQUATION IS PLACED IN ONE ROW IT IS CENTRED BY USING RIGHT-ALIGNED TAB, OPTIONALLY NUMBERED. LEAVE ONE BLANK LINE BEFORE AND AFTER THE EQUATION/EXPRESSION/FORMULA. USING THE DCB EQUATION STYLE IS THE EASIEST METHOD FOR MAKING EQUATION. FOR EXAMPLE

[pic]. (1)

where variables or symbols should be defined, unless obvious; here Kinc is the incremental stiffness matrix of shell; Fint is the internal force vector of shell, Fext is the external load of shell and ΔFext is the increment of the external load of shell.
