Acta Mechanica Sinica (English Series) was founded in 1985. High quality original works on all aspects of mechanics sciences are published in the journal. The journal accepts contributions from authors not only in China but also from other countries/regions. Thus the journal reflects research activities in the mechanics community domestic and abroad. Consequently the journal serves as an effective tool for promoting scientific exchange between Chinese and foreign scientists.

The journal aims to report recent developments in mechanics research and other related issues. It covers all disciplines in the field of theoretical and applied mechanics including not only the classical subdivisions such as solid and fluid mechanics but also the recently developing areas and the interdisciplinary subjects. The journal provides regular columns for review articles research papers notes experimental techniques scientific events and other special topics of general interest.
