自1965年以来，《国际机械学报》一直是理论和应用力学领域的领军期刊之一。除了弹性、塑性、振动与控制、结构、多体动力学、流体动力学、气体动力学和多相流等固体与流体力学领域外，它还特别关注非牛顿流体动力学、流体与固体的微观与纳米力学、智能材料与结构等领域。固体和液体的生物力学，以及力学和材料界面的新问题。该杂志还发表了与流变学、热力学以及与流体和固体的电磁相互作用等相关领域的论文。《国际机械学报》强调理论、实验和计算力学的各个方面的独创性，这些都具有持久的价值和当前的兴趣。《机械学报》还将出版专刊，并邀请编辑评论和观点。
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 fields of solid and fluid mechanics, such as elasticity, plasticity, vibrations and control, structures, multi-body dynamics, hydrodynamics, gasdynamics and multiphase flows, it also gives special attention to areas such as Non-Newtonian fluid dynamics, micro- and nanomechanics of fluids and solids, smart materials and structures, biomechanics of solids and fluids, and novel 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. Acta Mechanica emphasizes originality in all aspects of theoretical, experimental, and computational mechanics that are of lasting value and of current interest. Acta Mechanica will also publish special issues and editor-invited Reviews and Perspectives.
