連續(xù)介質力學和熱力學是一本跨學科的雜志，探討了在連續(xù)介質和準連續(xù)介質中對自由度大且足夠復雜的系統(tǒng)建模的新思路，以要求熱力學閉合。重點放在尋求通過均勻化、統(tǒng)計平均和其他旨在司法消除小時間和長度尺度的數(shù)學工具彌合離散和連續(xù)方法以及微觀和宏觀尺度之間差距的論文上。特別是，該雜志著重于在幾個不同的尺度上同時描述復雜系統(tǒng)。強烈鼓勵發(fā)表和解釋新實驗結果的論文。最后，該雜志發(fā)表了數(shù)字研究，以建立我們對現(xiàn)象物理性質的理解。除了研究論文外，期刊還邀請了評論文章、簡短的交流以及發(fā)表論文的“評論和回復”。

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.
