JOURNAL OF THE MECHANICS AND PHYSICS OF SOLIDS

The aim is to publish research of the highest quality and of lasting significance on the mechanics of solids. The scope is broad, from fundamental concepts in mechanics to the analysis of novel phenomena and applications. Solids are interpreted broadly to include both hard and soft materials as well as natural and synthetic structures. The approach can be theoretical, experimental or computational.This research activity sits within engineering science and the allied areas of applied mathematics, materials science, bio-mechanics, applied physics, and geophysics.The Journal was founded in 1952 by Rodney Hill, who was its Editor-in-Chief until 1968. The topics of interest to the Journal evolve with developments in the subject but its basic ethos remains the same: to publish research of the highest quality relating to the mechanics of solids. Thus, emphasis is placed on the development of fundamental concepts of mechanics and novel applications of these concepts based on theoretical, experimental or computational approaches, drawing upon the various branches of engineering science and the allied areas within applied mathematics, materials science, structural engineering, applied physics, and geophysics.The main purpose of the Journal is to foster scientific understanding of the processes of deformation and mechanical failure of all solid materials, both technological and natural, and the connections between these processes and their underlying physical mechanisms. In this sense, the content of the Journal should reflect the current state of the discipline in analysis, experimental observation, and numerical simulation. In the interest of achieving this goal, authors are encouraged to consider the significance of their contributions for the field of mechanics and the implications of their results, in addition to describing the details of their work.

JOURNAL OF THE MECHANICS AND PHYSICS OF SOLIDS期刊中文简介

目的是发表关于固体力学的最高质量和持久意义的研究。范围很广，从机械学的基本概念到新颖现象和应用的分析。固体被广泛地解释为包括硬质和软质材料以及天然和合成结构。该方法可以是理论，实验或计算。该研究活动属于工程科学和应用数学，材料科学，生物力学，应用物理和地球物理学的相关领域。该杂志由Rodney Hill于1952年创立，他一直担任总编辑直到1968年。期刊感兴趣的主题随着主题的发展而发展，但其基本精神仍然相同：发布最高质量相关的研究固体力学。因此，重点放在基于理论，实验或计算方法的这些概念的基本概念的发展和这些概念的新应用，借鉴工程科学的各个分支和应用数学，材料科学，结构工程，应用物理学和地球物理学。该期刊的主要目的是促进科学理解所有固体材料（包括技术和自然）的变形和机械失效过程，以及这些过程与其潜在物理机制之间的联系。从这个意义上说，期刊的内容应该反映分析，实验观察和数值模拟方面的学科现状。为了实现这一目标，除了描述其工作细节之外，还鼓励作者考虑他们对力学领域的贡献的重要性及其结果的含义。
