The Journal was founded in 1952 by Rodney Hill, who was its Editor-in-Chief until 1968. The topics of interest to the Journal evolve with
developments in the subject but its basic ethos remains the same: to publish research of the highest quality relating to the mechanics
of solids. Thus, emphasis is placed on the development of fundamental concepts of mechanics and novel applications of these concepts
based on theoretical, experimental or computational approaches, drawing upon the various branches of engineering science and the allied
areas within applied mathematics, materials science, structural engineering, applied physics, and geophysics. The main purpose of the
Journal is to foster scientific understanding of the processes of deformation and mechanical failure of all solid materials, both technological
and natural, and the connections between these processes and their underlying physical mechanisms. In this sense, the content of the
Journal should reflect the current state of the discipline in analysis, experimental observation, and numerical simulation. In the interest
of achieving this goal, authors are encouraged to consider the significance of their contributions for the field of mechanics and the
implications of their results, in addition to describing the details of their work.
