The main points discussed in Journal of Applied Mechanics deals with Mechanics, Composite material, Stress (mechanics), Classical mechanics and Mathematical analysis. The journal focuses on Mechanics but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Vibration, Closure (topology) and Nonlinear system. The journal connects research in Composite material with the related topic of Finite element method.
The journal connects the study in Stress (mechanics) with the closely related area of Structural engineering. Classical mechanics research presented is mostly focused on the subject of Equations of motion. Journal of Applied Mechanics explores research in Mathematical analysis and the adjacent study of Geometry.
The most cited papers investigate studies in Mechanics, Composite material, Stress (mechanics), Classical mechanics and Mathematical analysis. The most cited publications focus on Mechanics but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Vibration and Boundary value problem. The works on Stress (mechanics) tackled in the journal publications bring together disciplines like Geometry, Fissure and Deformation (engineering).
The journal facilitates discussions on Composite material, Stress (mechanics), Fracture process, Stiffness and Finite element method. In Journal of Applied Mechanics, Boundary value problem, Deflection (engineering) and Dielectric are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Composite material research. Topics in Stress (mechanics) explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Thermal, Polymer, Microsphere, Spherical shell and Nonlinear system.
In addition to Fracture process research, Journal of Applied Mechanics aims to explore topics under Isotropy and Plane stress. The close relationship between Snap and Structural engineering and Buckling is one of the points of interest dissected in Stiffness research. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Finite element method, it also covered topics in Calibration (statistics), Indentation and Mechanics.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Journal of Applied Mechanics (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Journal of Applied Mechanics (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2022 edition, 25.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 11.11% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 44.44% of all publications and 44.44% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2021)For those interested in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, exploring 6 week certification programs online can be a great way to gain specialized skills quickly. These short courses provide focused learning opportunities, perfect for busy professionals or students wanting to enhance their resumes without committing to lengthy programs.
If a full degree is the goal, many institutions offer affordable options. Finding an online mechanical engineering degree program can reduce costs while maintaining quality education. Flexible online formats also enable students to study from anywhere in the U.S., balancing education with work or personal commitments.
Accessibility in engineering education is expanding beyond traditional students. There are supportive pathways like online degrees for felons, which help individuals rebuild their careers and contribute to the engineering field. Likewise, lifelong learners are well served by options such as degrees for older adults, offering flexible and engaging programs tailored to senior students.
Overall, pursuing Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering online opens diverse avenues suited for various backgrounds and life stages, making this field more accessible than ever.
