《國際固體與結構雜志》的目標是將固體與結構力學的原始研究作為應用科學和工程領域出版和傳播。因此，它促進了世界各地的工人之間以及強調該領域基礎和應用不同方面的工人之間的思想交流。固體和結構力學正處在材料科學、生命科學、數學、物理和工程設計的十字路口，由于最近的技術進步，正經歷著相當大的發展。期刊通過提供一種國際傳播媒介，鼓勵了這一增長，并涵蓋了該領域的各個方面，從結構分析的更經典問題到固體與其他介質持續相互作用的力學問題，包括斷裂、流動、波傳播、熱傳遞、固體中的熱效應，優化設計方法、模型分析、結構拓撲和數值技術。興趣延伸到無機和有機固體和結構。重點放在貢獻，分析，實驗和數值，這似乎是永久性的興趣研究工作者和工程師在該領域。如果在本雜志主要關注的領域進一步了解，材料科學、數學、物理和工程設計的組成學科的主要興趣論文可以發表。僅僅是對既定原則和程序的說明的論文，即使可能包含新的數值或實驗數據，通常也不會發表。在現有領域取得突出進展或新領域發展到確定階段時，編輯將審議特別審查文章。沒有規定供款的篇幅限制，但只發表簡明的論文。根據技術優點，考慮簡要條款。歡迎討論以前發表的論文。

The International Journal of Solids and Structures has as its objective the publication and dissemination of original research in Mechanics of Solids and Structures as a field of Applied Science and Engineering. It fosters thus the exchange of ideas among workers in different parts of the world and also among workers who emphasize different aspects of the foundations and applications of the field.Standing as it does at the cross-roads of Materials Science, Life Sciences, Mathematics, Physics and Engineering Design, the Mechanics of Solids and Structures is experiencing considerable growth as a result of recent technological advances. The Journal, by providing an international medium of communication, is encouraging this growth and is encompassing all aspects of the field from the more classical problems of structural analysis to mechanics of solids continually interacting with other media and including fracture, flow, wave propagation, heat transfer, thermal effects in solids, optimum design methods, model analysis, structural topology and numerical techniques. Interest extends to both inorganic and organic solids and structures.The emphasis is placed on contributions, analytical, experimental and numerical, which appear to be of permanent interest to research workers and engineers in the field. If furthering knowledge in the area of principal concern of the Journal, papers of primary interest to the constitutive disciplines of Materials Science, Mathematics, Physics and Engineering Design may be published. Papers which are merely illustrations of established principles and procedures, even though possibly containing new numerical or experimental data, will generally not be published.When outstanding advances are made in existing areas or when new areas have been developed to a definitive stage, special review articles will be considered by the Editors.No length limitations for contributions are set, but only concisely written papers are published. Brief articles are considered on the basis of technical merit. Discussions of previously published papers are welcome.
