Aims & Scope

Aims:

Interdisciplinary Mechanics is an open access peer-reviewed journal that aims to publish cutting-edge research at the intersection of mechanics and emerging disciplines, with a focus on fundamental understanding and innovative applications that address global challenges. Underpinned by mechanics and engineering sciences, the journal bridges theoretical foundations and practical innovations across diverse domains: contemporary mechanics and engineering sciences; artificial intelligence; advanced materials; smart infrastructure; climate change and carbon neutrality; innovations in manufacturing, energy, biomedicine; and exploration of extreme environments—including deep space, earth, and ocean.

Scope:

Interdisciplinary Mechanics is broad in scope, welcoming original, novel research spanning theoretical, computational, and experimental mechanics toward interdisciplinary applications. The journal recognizes the transformative potential of mechanics when integrated with other scientific disciplines. For work to be published, it must demonstrate significant innovation in mechanics understanding or application and be of substantial interest to our multidisciplinary research community. All scales of investigation—from nano- to macro-scales—and all methodological approaches are welcomed.
