INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCES

The International Journal of Mechanical Sciences (IJMS) is an international forum for the publication and dissemination of original work which contributes to greater scientific understanding of the main disciplines underpinning the mechanical, civil and material engineering sciences.Original contributions providing insight into the use of analytical, computational (e.g. FEM, BEM, mesh-free methods and others) modelling methods for rigid-body mechanics (e.g. dynamics, vibration, stability), structural mechanics, metal forming, behaviour and application of advanced materials (metals, composite, cellular, smart etc.), impact mechanics, strain localization and other effects of nonlinearity (e.g. large deflections, plasticity, fracture etc.), fluid mechanics (external and internal flows), tribology, thermodynamics and materials processing generally form the core of the journal contents.The International Journal of Mechanical Sciences does not accept for publication material which quite specifically belongs with other established specialist journals. Papers whose concern is primarily with mathematical or computational techniques, developed within a general framework and not aimed at any specific engineering application, are not requested. Similarly, papers whose content is purely descriptive or empirical and which do not make any scientific contribution, will not be considered. Comparison with experiments/tests conducted by the authors or others to validate the main contribution of the paper are strongly encouraged, however design-based studies, based on established formulae and methods, are outside our scope and should not be submitted to the International Journal of Mechanical Sciences.Only original, innovative and novel papers will be considered for publication in the International Journal of Mechanical Sciences and before considering their work, authors are required to confirm that their paper has not been submitted to any other journal in English or any other language. Occasionally, 'Letters to the Editor' are considered.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCES期刊中文简介

《国际机械科学杂志》（IJMS）是一个出版和传播原著的国际论坛，有助于更科学地理解支撑机械、土木和材料工程科学的主要学科。最初的贡献提供了对分析、计算（如FEM、BEM、无网格方法和其他）建模方法在刚体力学（如动力学、振动、稳定性）、结构力学、金属成形、高级材料（金属、复合材料、蜂窝、智能等）行为和应用、冲击MEC中的应用的见解。力学、应变局部化和其他非线性效应（如大挠度、塑性、断裂等）、流体力学（内外流）、摩擦学、热力学和材料加工一般构成了期刊内容的核心。《国际机械科学杂志》不接受专门属于其他已建立的专业期刊的出版材料。不要求主要关注数学或计算技术的论文，这些论文是在一般框架内开发的，不针对任何特定的工程应用。同样，如果论文的内容纯粹是描述性的或经验性的，并且没有做出任何科学贡献，则将不予考虑。强烈建议与作者或其他人为验证论文主要贡献而进行的实验/测试进行比较，但基于既定公式和方法的基于设计的研究超出了我们的范围，不应提交给国际机械科学杂志。只有原创的、创新的和新颖的论文才会在国际机械科学杂志上发表，在考虑他们的工作之前，作者必须确认他们的论文没有以英语或任何其他语言提交给任何其他杂志。偶尔会考虑“致编辑的信”。
