該雜志的目標是出版和廣泛的電子傳播的創新和相應的應用力學研究。IJAM歡迎來自世界各地的貢獻者在應用力學的各個方面發表高質量的原創研究論文。該雜志旨在促進應用力學各方面的新知識和最新發展信息的國際交流。除了涵蓋應用力學的經典分支，即固體力學、流體力學、熱力學和材料科學，該雜志還鼓勵來自新興領域的貢獻，如生物力學、電力學、先進材料的力學行為、納米力學，以及應用力學概念得到廣泛應用和發展的許多其他跨學科研究領域。

The journal has as its objective the publication and wide electronic dissemination of innovative and consequential research in applied mechanics. IJAM welcomes high-quality original research papers in all aspects of applied mechanics from contributors throughout the world. The journal aims to promote the international exchange of new knowledge and recent development information in all aspects of applied mechanics. In addition to covering the classical branches of applied mechanics, namely solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and material science, the journal also encourages contributions from newly emerging areas such as biomechanics, electromechanics, the mechanical behavior of advanced materials, nanomechanics, and many other inter-disciplinary research areas in which the concepts of applied mechanics are extensively applied and developed.
