《机械学报》由中国理论与应用力学学会主办，促进了中外科学家的科学交流与合作。它在力学和机械科学的各个方面都有高质量的原创论文。期刊不仅探讨了固体力学和流体力学等理论和应用力学的经典分支，还探讨了生物力学和纳米力学等新兴领域。此外，该杂志还研究了力学各个领域的分析、计算和实验进展。最后，它鼓励跨学科的研究，充当力学和其他工程和科学分支之间的桥梁。除了研究论文外，中国机械学报还出版评论、笔记、实验技术、科学事件和其他感兴趣的专题。
Acta Mechanica Sinica, sponsored by the Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, promotes scientific exchanges and collaboration among Chinese scientists in China and abroad. It features high quality, original papers in all aspects of mechanics and mechanical sciences.Not only does the journal explore the classical subdivisions of theoretical and applied mechanics such as solid and fluid mechanics, it also explores recently emerging areas such as biomechanics and nanomechanics. In addition, the journal investigates analytical, computational, and experimental progresses in all areas of mechanics. Lastly, it encourages research in interdisciplinary subjects, serving as a bridge between mechanics and other branches of engineering and the sciences.In addition to research papers, Acta Mechanica Sinica publishes reviews, notes, experimental techniques, scientific events, and other special topics of interest.
