Acta Mechanica

Aims & Scope

Since 1965, the international journal Acta Mechanica has been among the leading journals in the field of theoretical and applied mechanics.

In addition to the classical fields such as elasticity, plasticity, vibrations, rigid body dynamics, hydrodynamics, and gasdynamics, it also gives special attention to recently developed areas such as non-Newtonian fluid dynamics, micro/nano mechanics, smart materials and structures, and issues at the interface of mechanics and materials.

The journal further publishes papers in such related fields as rheology, thermodynamics, and electromagnetic interactions with fluids and solids.

In addition, articles in applied mathematics dealing with significant mechanics problems are also welcome.
