Aims & Scope

Acta Mechanica Sinica is a journal promoting scientific exchanges in all aspects of mechanics and mechanical sciences. Features high-quality, original papers. Explores both classical and emerging areas of mechanics, such as interdisciplinary mechanics and data-driven mechanics. Encourages research in interdisciplinary subjects, bridging mechanics with other engineering and scientific disciplines. Not just limited to theoretical aspects, it also delves into analytical, computational, and experimental progress. Publish reviews, articles, rapid communications, comments, experimental techniques, scientific events, and special topics of interest.
