The journal Mechanics of Solids publishes articles in the general areas of dynamics of particles and rigid bodies and the mechanics of deformable solids. At approximately a thousand pages a year, the journal is a comprehensive record of up-to-the-minute research results. Coverage includes 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. Articles in the journal are primarily theoretical and analytical in nature and present a satisfying blend of basic mechanics theory with analysis of contemporary technological problems. Mechanics of Solids is abstracted and/or indexed in Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition (Web of Sciences Core Collection), SCOPUS, INSPEC, Expanded Academic, Digital Mathematics Registry, Google Scholar, PASCAL, Academic OneFile, Summon by Serial Solutions, OCLC, INIS Atomindex, VINITI - Russian Academy of Science, Science Citation Index Expanded (SciSearch). The journal Mechanics of Solids is tranlaslated from Russian journal Izvestiya RAN, Mekhanika Tverdogo Tela.
