Aims & Scope:

Mechanics and mathematics have been complementary partners since Newton’s time and the history of science shows much evidence of the beneficial influence of these disciplines on each other. Driven by increasingly elaborate modern technological applications the symbiotic relationship between mathematics and mechanics is continually growing. However, the increasingly large number of specialist journals has generated a duality gap between the partners, and this gap is growing wider.

Advances in Mechanics and Mathematics (AMMA) is intended to bridge the gap by providing multi-disciplinary publications which fall into the two following complementary categories:

1. An annual book dedicated to the latest developments in mechanics and mathematics;
2. Monographs, advanced textbooks, handbooks, edited volumes and selected conference proceedings.

The AMMA annual book publishes invited and contributed comprehensive review, research and survey type articles within the broad area of modern mechanics and applied mathematics. Mechanics is understood here in the most general sense of the word, including relevant physical and biological phenomena such as electromagnetic, thermal, quantum effects, biomechanics and mechanobiology. Especially encouraged are articles on mathematical and computational models and methods based on mechanics and their interactions with other fields. All contributions will be reviewed so as to guarantee the highest possible scientific standards. Each article will reflect the most recent research achievements in the area. The coverage should be conceptual, concentrating on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist reader to understand it. Discussion of possible future research directions in the area is welcome. Thus the annuals will provide a continuous documentation of the most recent developments in this important and active field. Articles could be potential sources for AMMA monographs or advanced textbooks.

Volumes published in the second category contain review/research contributions covering various aspects of the topic. Together these will provide an overview of the state-of-the-art in the respective field, extending from an introduction to the subject right up to the frontiers of contemporary research. Certain multi-disciplinary topics, such as duality, complementarity and symmetry in mechanics, mathematics and physics are of particular interest.

The series is addressed to all scientists and mathematicians, including advanced students (doctoral and post-doctoral level) at universities and in industry interested in mechanics and applied mathematics.

Instructions on a Paper Preparation

Kluwer Book Style Files: Book Stylefiles/Templates 
The template sets are packed in a self extracting file archives. They contain 
stylefiles for LaTeX2.09 and LaTeX2e users. If you should have any
questions or problems with downloading, please let us know.

                     E-mail: gao@math.vt.edu

For questions on the usage of the templates, we kindly refer you to the
documentation (.doc files).

Download:
PC/Mac: edvoll.exe
Unix: edvoll.tgz

These archives contain stylefiles for LaTeX2.09 and LaTeX2e users.

Unpacking
PC users: These are self-extracting archives: just doubleclick or type the
                  filename on the command-line.
Mac users: These can be treated as an ordinary PC-style zipfiles and can
                     be unpacked with suitable archiving utilities. One such utility is the free
                     program Aladdin Expander, downloadable from www.aladdinsys.com
Unix users:You may prefer to download the tgz versions of the archives.
                   You can unpack them with e.g.
    gzip -d edvoll.tgz
    tar -xvf edvoll.tar

The first command replaces monol.tgz with edvoll.tar; the second unpacks
edvoll.tar.
