Mechanics of Solids is a peer-reviewed journal. It publishes articles in the general areas of the dynamics of particles and rigid bodies and the mechanics of deformable solids. The journal has a goal of being a comprehensive record of up-to-the-minute research results. The journal coverage is the vibration of discrete and continuous systems; stability and optimization of mechanical systems; automatic control theory; dynamics of multiple body systems; elasticity, viscoelasticity, and plasticity; mechanics of composite materials; theory of structures and structural stability; wave propagation and impact of solids; fracture mechanics; micromechanics of solids; mechanics of granular and geological materials; structure-fluid interaction; mechanical behavior of materials; gyroscopes and navigation systems; and nanomechanics. Most of the articles in the journal are theoretical and analytical. They present a blend of basic mechanics theory with an analysis of contemporary technological problems. Mechanics of Solids publishes English translations of articles from Izvestiya RAN, Mekhanika Tverdogo Tela and other source journals and original unsolicited articles in the English language. The source of each article is described at the article level on the title pages. The final decision about the publication in Mechanics of Solids is made by its editorial board regardless of the source. The editorial and peer review policies are the same for all translated and original articles. The journal is interested in the global cooperation of scientists and has the aim of becoming an international publication. Researchers from around the globe are encouraged to submit their work in English.
