Themed Article on for CCTAM 2017 Special Issue

Guest editors: Tian Jian Lu, Wei Shyy, Zhigang Suo

To celebrate and witness the 2017 Chinese Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (CCTAM2017) and the 60th Anniversary of the establishment of the Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (CSTAM), which is a large professional body consisting of more than 20,000 members from around the globe and also the sponsor of Acta Mechanica Sinica (AMS), we here publish a special collection including twenty-one invited papers in this and the following issues. In this special collection, we present a wide range of papers to the research community, aiming to report the most recent development in the field. Together, they address a number of well-established and emerging topical areas, advance the state-of-the-art, and offer directions for future research.

Committing to publish papers with new insight and of potentially significant impact, AMS explores the frontiers of mechanics using analytical, computational, and experimental tools. AMS also encourages research in interdisciplinary subjects, and serves as a bridge between mechanics and other branches of engineering and sciences. We extend a warm welcome to you all for attending the CCTAM2017 in Beijing, and encourage you to submit your future work to AMS.
