《國際非線性力學雜志》為固體、結構和流體的理論和應用力學的各個領域的研究成果的傳播提供了一種特殊的媒介，在這些領域中，這些現象本質上是非線性的。該雜志匯集了彈性、塑性、動力學和振動、流變學、流體動力學、氣體動力學、磁流體動力學、天體動力學、控制和穩定性、結構以及其他不同領域非線性問題的原始結果。論文可以是分析/計算或實驗性的。非線性微分方程的數學處理，其中強調了解和解的性質也是適當的。同時提出了確定性方法和隨機方法。鼓勵有關應用領域的貢獻。

The International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics provides a specific medium for dissemination of research results in the various areas of theoretical and applied mechanics of solids, structures and fluids, where the phenomena are inherently non-linear. The journal brings together original results in non-linear problems in elasticity, plasticity, dynamics and vibrations, rheology, hydrodynamics, gas dynamics, magnetohydrodynamics, astrodynamics, control and stability, structures, as well as in other diverse areas. Papers may be analytical/computational or experimental. Mathematical treatments of non-linear differential equations wherein solutions and properties of solutions are emphasized are also appropriate. Both deterministic and stochastic approaches are fostered. Contributions pertaining to applied fields are encouraged.
