Since 1965, the international journal Acta Mechanica has been among the leading venues in theoretical and applied mechanics. Acta Mechanica gives attention to research in all fields of solid and fluid mechanics with emphasis on concise mechanical and thermodynamical material modeling and related stochastic, computational as well as experimental methods.

In solid mechanics, selected areas of interest are:

elasticity
plasticity
multi-body dynamics
vibrations and control
smart materials and structures
 
Fields of interest in fluid mechanics are: 
hydrodynamics
gasdynamics
aerodynamics
single- and multi-phase flows
rheology
non-Newtonian fluids
 
Special emphasis is given to the nano-Micro-macro-correlation of microstructure and constitutive properties in solids and fluids analyzed by 
nano- and micromechanics
homogenization, as well as by
model order reduction and
data-based methods
The journal further publishes papers in related fields such as scale-dependence of constitutive properties of fluids and solids. Acta Mechanica emphasizes originality in theoretical, experimental, and computational mechanics of lasting value and current interest. Acta Mechanica also publishes special issues and editor-invited Reviews and Perspectives.
