About the Journal

Archives of Mechanics

Editor: Henryk Petryk

Archives of Mechanics, a refereed international journal founded in 1949, provides a forum for original research on mechanics of solids, fluids and discrete systems, including the development of mathematical methods for solving mechanical problems. The journal encompasses all aspects of the field, with the emphasis placed on:

  • mechanics of materials: elasticity, plasticity, time-dependent phenomena, phase transformation, damage, fracture; physical and experimental foundations, micromechanics, thermodynamics, instabilities;
  • methods and problems in continuum mechanics: general theory and novel applications, thermomechanics, structural analysis, porous media, contact problems;
  • dynamics of material systems;
  • fluid flows and interactions with solids.

Papers published in the Archives should contain original contributions dealing with theoretical, experimental, or numerical aspects of mechanical problems listed above.

Journal History

Archives of Mechanics (formerly Archiwum Mechaniki Stosowanej) is a refereed international journal founded in 1949 by M.T. Huber, W. Nowacki, W. Olszak and W. Wierzbicki - a group of renowned Polish scientists in the fields of mechanics of solids and structures, and foundations of mechanics of continuous media. The journal is edited and published by the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research, Polish Academy of Sciences (IPPT PAN).
