《力学档案》是1949年创办的一份国际期刊，它为固体、流体和离散系统力学的原始研究提供了一个论坛，包括解决力学问题的数学方法的发展。该杂志涵盖了该领域的各个方面，重点是：材料力学：弹性、塑性、时变现象、相变、损伤、断裂；物理与实验基础、微观力学、热力学、不稳定性；连续介质力学的方法和问题：一般理论和新应用，热力学，结构分析，多孔介质，接触问题；材料系统动力学；流体流动和与固体的相互作用。在档案馆发表的论文应包含有关上述机械问题的理论、实验或数值方面的原始贡献。
Archives of Mechanics, a refereed international journal founded in 1949, provides a forum for original research on mechanics of solids, fluids and discrete systems, including the development of mathematical methods for solving mechanical problems. The journal encompasses all aspects of the field, with the emphasis placed on:mechanics of materials: elasticity, plasticity, time-dependent phenomena, phase transformation, damage, fracture; physical and experimental foundations, micromechanics, thermodynamics, instabilities;methods and problems in continuum mechanics: general theory and novel applications, thermomechanics, structural analysis, porous media, contact problems;dynamics of material systems;fluid flows and interactions with solids.Papers published in the Archives should contain original contributions dealing with theoretical, experimental, or numerical aspects of mechanical problems listed above.
