CONTINUUM MECHANICS AND THERMODYNAMICS

Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics is an interdisciplinary journal exploring new ideas in continuum and quasi-continuum modeling of systems with a large number of degrees of freedom and sufficient complexity to require thermodynamic closure.Major emphasis is placed on papers seeking to bridge the gap between discrete and continuum approaches as well as micro and macro scales, by means of homogenization, statistical averaging, and other mathematical tools aimed at the judicial elimination of small time and length scales. In particular, the journal focuses on simultaneous descriptions of complex systems at several disparate scales. Papers presenting and explaining new experimental findings are highly encouraged. Lastly, the journal publishes numerical studies that build our understanding of the physical nature of phenomena.In addition to research papers, the journal features invited review articles, short communications, and "comment-and-reply" on published papers.

连续介质力学和热力学是一本跨学科的杂志，探讨了在连续介质和准连续介质中对自由度大且足够复杂的系统建模的新思路，以要求热力学闭合。重点放在寻求通过均匀化、统计平均和其他旨在司法消除小时间和长度尺度的数学工具弥合离散和连续方法以及微观和宏观尺度之间差距的论文上。特别是，该杂志着重于在几个不同的尺度上同时描述复杂系统。强烈鼓励发表和解释新实验结果的论文。最后，该杂志发表了数字研究，以建立我们对现象物理性质的理解。除了研究论文外，期刊还邀请了评论文章、简短的交流以及发表论文的“评论和回复”。
