Rakenteiden Mekaniikka

Aims & Scope

The scope of the journal includes theoretical, computational and experimental mechanics of solids and fluids as well as mathematics and applications related to these fields.

Examples of possible topics are static and dynamic analyses of strength of structures, multibody dynamics, fluid mechanics, interaction of fluids and structures, design of structures and machines, structural optimization, functionality of structures in extreme conditions, smart machines and structures, vibration mechanics, contact mechanics, rotor dynamics, fracture mechanics and fatigue, thermomechanics, soil and rock mechanics, material technology, new materials, optimal control of dynamic systems, FEM, biomechanics, micromechanics, industrial and medical applications of mechanics, and teaching of mechanics and strength of materials.

The journal publishes also literature reviews, short letters containing comments on articles published in the journal and short reports describing a technical method or solution having interest in the fields of the journal.

The length of these texts should not exceed two pages.

Articles can be written in Finnish or English.

Finnish articles include a short separate 'English Summary'.

The Exchange Centre for Scientific Literature (called Exchange Center on navigation) is in charge of the exchange of the periodical with various international forums.
