"Advances in Mechanics"is a comprehensive academic journal supervised by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and jointly sponsored by the Institute of Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, focusing on publishing high-level review articles in the field of mechanics, with special attention to the bidirection drive of mechanics and applications.

Welcome articles facing the major national needs, from the perspective of engineering systems, summarize and analyze the research history and current situation of common or bottleneck mechanics issues, and have a foreseeable article about the future

Welcome the forefront of mechanics, exploring new directions, new fields, and enlightening articles;

Welcome in-depth summary of the mechanics results or lessons with important reference and reference value, so that the latecomers can better create and invented articles on the basis of the predecessors;

Encourage creative ideas and suggestions for current important academic issues related to the development of mechanics.

From 2021, " Advances in Mechanics" will be published as a quarterly journal. The journal columns include:

1. Review:This column accepts review and commentary manuscripts, mainly by contract, and accepts high-quality free submissions.The length of the article is not limited, and the author is required to engage in in-depth research on the topic reviewed, and be familiar with the current research status and development trends at home and abroad.
