Scope

• The core of the journal is the mechanics of cracking, from the nucleation of a fatigue macrocrack at a stress raiser to the growth of long fatigue cracks in steels and alloys.刊物的核心是开裂力学，既包括应力集中处疲劳宏裂纹的萌生，也包括钢与合金中长疲劳裂纹的扩展。
• Fatigue occupies a standing position, with crack-growth resistance under cyclic loading, the closure of crack faces and the deliberate arrest of cracks treated as recurring themes.疲劳研究是常设方向，循环载荷下的裂纹扩展抗力、裂纹闭合以及人为止裂被视为反复出现的主题。
• Work on the development of new materials ranges from powder metallurgy and protective coatings to composites, with the aim of raising strength, wear resistance and service life.新材料研发方向涵盖粉末冶金、防护涂层与复合材料，目标是提升强度、耐磨性与服役寿命。
• Corrosion and anticorrosion protection of structural metallic and polymer materials form a separate line of enquiry, and the journal also accepts papers on repair coatings applied to gas pipelines.结构金属与高分子材料的腐蚀与防腐保护构成独立的研究线索，刊物也接收关于输气管道修复涂层的论文。
• A recurring subject is hydrogen embrittlement in steels, covering hydrogen concentration at crack tips, diffusion and trapping, and the remaining life of pipelines operated in hydrogen-containing media.钢的氢脆是一条反复出现的主题，涉及裂纹尖端的氢浓度、扩散与陷阱，以及在含氢介质中运行的管道的剩余寿命。
• Thermomechanical treatment is studied for low-carbon alloyed steels and wire rod, with attention to the structural changes that follow cooling in different regimes.热机械处理方向以低碳合金钢与线材为对象，关注不同冷却制度下随之发生的组织变化。
• Tribological work covers the diffusion saturation of titanium alloy surface layers, the friction and wear behaviour of coated steels and the lubrication of sliding contacts.摩擦学方向涉及钛合金表层的扩散渗镀、涂层钢的摩擦磨损行为以及滑动接触的润滑。
• Design-oriented papers calculate the remaining life of long steam turbine blades and of welded pipeline components, which gives the journal a characteristic engineering emphasis.面向设计的论文计算长叶片与焊接管道构件的剩余寿命，由此形成刊物特有的工程侧重点。
• Diagnostic papers deal with the length of cracks determined by eddy current probes and with the acoustic emission signals recorded during subcritical crack growth.诊断类论文讨论涡流探针测定的裂纹长度，以及亚临界裂纹扩展过程中记录到的声发射信号。
• The scope also reaches civil materials, with eco-friendly starch-based inhibiting compositions proposed for the corrosion protection of reinforced concrete structures.选题也延伸到土木材料，诸如以淀粉基缓蚀剂保护钢筋混凝土结构的方案。
• Research into active environment conditions treats the mechanical behaviour of structural alloys in corrosive media and under hydrogen-containing working fluids.面向服役环境的研究考察结构合金在腐蚀介质与含氢工作介质中的力学行为。
• The subject tags attached to the journal place it under general materials science, the characterization and evaluation of materials, structural materials and solid mechanics.刊网给出的学科标签把它归入材料科学总论、材料表征与评价、结构材料与固体力学几个方向。
• Every article is peer reviewed, and the English edition follows the Ukrainian volume-year rather than setting an independent publication year of its own.所有论文均经同行评审，英译本沿用乌克兰的卷年，而非另立自己的出版年度。

History

• The volume sequence behind the journal belongs to the Ukrainian journal Fizyko-Khimichna Mekhanika Materialiv, and the English edition reproduces that numbering, one volume to a year, which places the first volume of the sequence in 1965.支撑本刊的卷号序列属于乌克兰刊物《物理化学力学与材料》，英译本沿用这套编号，一年一卷，由此可知该序列的第 1 卷始于 1965 年。
• The correspondence shows in the translation notes the articles carry, one dated 2009 naming volume 45, number 6 of the parent journal, and another dated 2025 naming volume 61, number 1, both of them a year and a volume apart from the first.这种对应关系体现在论文自带的译注里，一篇 2009 年的论文注明母刊第 45 卷第 6 期，另一篇 2025 年的论文注明第 61 卷第 1 期，两者的卷号与年份都比第 1 卷各推后同样的年数。
• By volume 29 in 1993 the English title had become the established form, and the publisher's deposit record carries every volume from that point onwards, the first deposited article opening that volume at page one.到 1993 年的第 29 卷，英文题名已成为固定形式，出版方的文献存档自该卷起延续不断，最早存档的一篇文章开篇即在该卷第 1 页。
• The English edition reproduces the Ukrainian volume-year, whose issues run in two-month pairs from January to December, so that six numbers make up each volume.英译本复制乌克兰的卷年，其各期按两月一期从一月排到十二月，故每卷含六期。
• The publisher states that the Ukrainian volume-year appears in English beginning in July, which explains why the English issues of one volume are spread across two calendar years.出版方说明乌克兰卷年的英文版自七月开始推出，这解释了一卷的英文各期为何跨两个日历年。
• Publishing later moved to the Springer platform, where the journal appears under the Karpenko Physico-Mechanical Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Lviv.出版随后转到施普林格平台，刊物以利沃夫乌克兰国家科学院卡尔潘科物理力学研究所的名义出版。
• Articles in the English edition still carry a note naming the Ukrainian issue from which they were translated, for instance volume 61, number 1 of January and February 2025.英文版论文仍注明所译自的乌克兰刊物期次，例如 2025 年 1 至 2 月的第 61 卷第 1 期。
• The journal operates under a hybrid model, with a subscription edition alongside optional open access for individual articles.刊物采取混合出版模式，订阅版之外，论文可选择以开放获取方式发表。
• The impact factor stood at 0.508 for 2022 and 0.7 for 2023, and the figure of 1.3 recorded for 2025 stands well above those earlier values.该刊 2022 年的影响因子为 0.508，2023 年为 0.7，2025 年记录的 1.3 明显高于此前这些数值。
• The publisher's own page lists the services that index the journal, among them the Science Citation Index Expanded, Scopus, the Chemical Abstracts Service, the Compendex of Engineering Information, INIS Atomindex and the Ovid Discovery service.出版方自己的页面列出索引该刊的服务，其中有科学引文索引扩展版、Scopus、化学文摘服务、工程信息 Compendex、INIS Atomindex 与 Ovid 检索服务。
• The publisher's deposit record for the journal now holds more than eight thousand articles, the bulk of them from the volumes deposited since 1993.出版方为该刊存下的文献记录如今已逾八千篇，其中绝大多数出自 1993 年以后存档的各卷。
