連續(xù)介質(zhì)力學(xué)和熱力學(xué)是一本跨學(xué)科的雜志，探討了在連續(xù)介質(zhì)和準(zhǔn)連續(xù)介質(zhì)中對(duì)自由度大且足夠復(fù)雜的系統(tǒng)建模的新思路，以要求熱力學(xué)閉合。重點(diǎn)放在尋求通過(guò)均勻化、統(tǒng)計(jì)平均和其他旨在司法消除小時(shí)間和長(zhǎng)度尺度的數(shù)學(xué)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(gè)不同的尺度上同時(shí)描述復(fù)雜系統(tǒng)。強(qiáng)烈鼓勵(lì)發(fā)表和解釋新實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果的論文。最后，該雜志發(fā)表了數(shù)字研究，以建立我們對(duì)現(xiàn)象物理性質(zhì)的理解。除了研究論文外，期刊還邀請(qǐng)了評(píng)論文章、簡(jiǎn)短的交流以及發(fā)表論文的“評(píng)論和回復(fù)”。

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.
