Mechanics of Solids is an international peer-reviewed journal focusing on the behavior of solid materials under various conditions, including external forces and temperature changes. Publishes articles in the general areas of the dynamics of particles and rigid bodies and mechanics of deformable solids. Covers a broad range of topics, including elasticity, viscoelasticity, and plasticity. Also covers dynamics of multiple body systems, mechanics of composite materials, theory of structures and structural stability, mechanics of granular and geological materials, and more. Welcomes submissions in English from all countries.
