The Journal covers all disciplines in the field of theoretical and applied mechanics, including solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, dynamics and control, and biomechanics. It explores analytical, computational and experimental progresses in all areas of mechanics. The Journal also encourages research in interdisciplinary subjects, and serves as a bridge between mechanics and other branches of engineering and sciences.
Starting from 2012, each issue of the Journal provides four regular sections: (1) invited articles, (2) full length papers, (3) communications, and (4) discussions of papers recently published in the Journal.
The average publication periods for Sections 1 and 2 are aimed to be less than 6 months and those for Sections 3 and 4 less than 3 months. While the Journal publishes bimonthly, manuscripts will be online within 24 hours after acceptance.
The Journal is open access to all members of CSTAM (over 20,000) … More>>

Title:The wake of falling disks at low Reynolds numbers Author: Hong-Jie Zhong, Cun-Biao Lee Abstract:
We visualized the wake structure of circular disks falling vertically in quiescent water. The evolution of the wake was shown to be similar to the flow patterns behind a fixed disk. The Reynolds number, Re=Ud/ν, is in th...
