Journal Title：Continuum Mechanics And Thermodynamics

This interdisciplinary journal provides a forum for presenting 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 attempting 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. The journal is particularly interested in contributions focusing on a simultaneous description of complex systems at several disparate scales. Papers presenting and explaining new experimental findings are highly encouraged. The journal welcomes numerical studies aimed at understanding the physical nature of the phenomena.

Potential subjects range from boiling and turbulence to plasticity and earthquakes. Studies of fluids and solids with nonlinear and non-local interactions, multiple fields and multi-scale responses, nontrivial dissipative properties and complex dynamics are expected to have a strong presence in the pages of the journal. An incomplete list of featured topics includes: active solids and liquids, nano-scale effects and molecular structure of materials, singularities in fluid and solid mechanics, polymers, elastomers and liquid crystals, rheology, cavitation and fracture, hysteresis and friction, mechanics of solid and liquid phase transformations, composite, porous and granular media, scaling in statics and dynamics, large scale processes and geomechanics, stochastic aspects of mechanics. The journal would also like to attract papers addressing the very foundations of thermodynamics and kinetics of continuum processes. Of special interest are contributions to the emerging areas of biophysics and biomechanics of cells, bones and tissues leading to new continuum and thermodynamical models.

這本跨學科期刊提供了一個論壇，用于展示具有大量自由度和足夠復雜度以要求熱力學閉合的系統的連續和準連續建模的新思想。主要重點放在試圖彌合離散和連續方法以及微觀和宏觀尺度之間差距的論文上，通過均質化、統計平均和其他數學工具，旨在司法消除小的時間和長度尺度。該期刊特別關注同時描述幾個不同尺度的復雜系統的投稿。強烈鼓勵提交展示和解釋新實驗發現的論文。該期刊歡迎旨在理解現象物理性質的數值研究。

潛在主題包括沸騰和湍流、塑性和地震。具有非線性和非局部相互作用的流體和固體的研究、多場和多尺度響應、非平凡耗散特性和復雜動力學有望在期刊上占據重要地位。特色主題的不完整列表包括：活性固體和液體、納米級效應和材料分子結構、流體和固體力學中的奇點、聚合物、彈性體和液晶、流變學、空化和斷裂、滯后和摩擦、固體和液體相變力學、復合、多孔和顆粒介質、靜力學和動力學中的縮放、大規模過程和地質力學、力學的隨機方面。該期刊還希望吸引有關連續過程熱力學和動力學基礎的論文。特別感興趣的是對細胞、骨骼和組織的生物物理學和生物力學新興領域的貢獻，從而產生新的連續體和熱力學模型。
