固體力學發(fā)表了粒子和剛體動力學的一般領域和可變形固體力學的文章。該雜志的目標是全面記錄最新的研究結果。期刊覆蓋范圍包括離散和連續(xù)系統(tǒng)的振動；機械系統(tǒng)的穩(wěn)定性和優(yōu)化；自動控制理論；多體系統(tǒng)動力學；彈性、粘彈性和塑性；復合材料力學；結構和結構穩(wěn)定性理論；固體波傳播和沖擊；分形；結構力學；固體微觀力學；顆粒和地質材料力學；結構-流體相互作用；材料的力學行為；陀螺儀和導航系統(tǒng)；以及納米力學。雜志上的大多數(shù)文章都是理論性和分析性的。他們將基本力學理論與當代技術問題分析相結合。

Mechanics of Solids publishes articles in the general areas of 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 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 analysis of contemporary technological problems.
