About Journal

This Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (J. Appl. Math. Mech.) is a cover to cover translation of the Russian journal Prikladnaya Matematika i Mekhanika, published by the Russian Academy of Sciences and reflecting all the major achievements of the Russian School of Mechanics.The journal is concerned with high-level mathematical investigations of modern physical and mechanical problems and reports current progress in this field. Special emphasis is placed on aeronautics and space science and such subjects as continuum mechanics, theory of elasticity, and mathematics of space flight guidance and control.

The journal publishes results in the field of mechanics, which, as a rule, have a rigorous theoretical basis, in the following areas:

• general mechanics or systems mechanics, including problems of the control of mechanical systems;
• fluid mechanics;
• the mechanics of deformable solids;
• computational mechanics.

The journal presents, to some extent, the most important ideas and results that determine the development of mechanics, the establishment of new scientific trends and the emergence of new applications of mechanics in an epoch of rapid scientific and technical progress.
