The International Journal of Mechanical Sciences (IJMS) is an international forum for the publication and dissemination of original work which contributes to greater scientific understanding of the main disciplines underpinning the mechanical, civil and material engineering sciences.Original contributions providing insight into the use of analytical, computational (e.g. FEM, BEM, mesh-free methods and others) modelling methods for rigid-body mechanics (e.g. dynamics, vibration, stability), structural mechanics, metal forming, behaviour and application of advanced materials (metals, composite, cellular, smart etc.), impact mechanics, strain localization and other effects of nonlinearity (e.g. large deflections, plasticity, fracture etc.), fluid mechanics (external and internal flows), tribology, thermodynamics and materials processing generally form the core of the journal contents.The International Journal of Mechanical Sciences does not accept for publication material which quite specifically belongs with other established specialist journals. Papers whose concern is primarily with mathematical or computational techniques, developed within a general framework and not aimed at any specific engineering application, are not requested. Similarly, papers whose content is purely descriptive or empirical and which do not make any scientific contribution, will not be considered. Comparison with experiments/tests conducted by the authors or others to validate the main contribution of the paper are strongly encouraged, however design-based studies, based on established formulae and methods, are outside our scope and should not be submitted to the International Journal of Mechanical Sciences.Only original, innovative and novel papers will be considered for publication in the International Journal of Mechanical Sciences and before considering their work, authors are required to confirm that their paper has not been submitted to any other journal in English or any other language. Occasionally, 'Letters to the Editor' are considered.

《國際機械科學雜志》（IJMS）是一個出版和傳播原著的國際論壇，有助于更科學地理解支撐機械、土木和材料工程科學的主要學科。最初的貢獻提供了對分析、計算（如FEM、BEM、無網格方法和其他）建模方法在剛體力學（如動力學、振動、穩定性）、結構力學、金屬成形、高級材料（金屬、復合材料、蜂窩、智能等）行為和應用、沖擊MEC中的應用的見解。力學、應變局部化和其他非線性效應（如大撓度、塑性、斷裂等）、流體力學（內外流）、摩擦學、熱力學和材料加工一般構成了期刊內容的核心。《國際機械科學雜志》不接受專門屬于其他已建立的專業期刊的出版材料。不要求主要關注數學或計算技術的論文，這些論文是在一般框架內開發的，不針對任何特定的工程應用。同樣，如果論文的內容純粹是描述性的或經驗性的，并且沒有做出任何科學貢獻，則將不予考慮。強烈建議與作者或其他人為驗證論文主要貢獻而進行的實驗/測試進行比較，但基于既定公式和方法的基于設計的研究超出了我們的范圍，不應提交給國際機械科學雜志。只有原創的、創新的和新穎的論文才會在國際機械科學雜志上發表，在考慮他們的工作之前，作者必須確認他們的論文沒有以英語或任何其他語言提交給任何其他雜志。偶爾會考慮“致編輯的信”。
