Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (English Edition) is founded by the famous mechanical, mathematical, educational, and community leader Wei-zang Chien in 1980. This journal aims to carry original research papers on mechanics, mathematical methods in mechanics as well as applied mathematics relevant to neoteric mechanics. It is a good reference to the researchers and students who work in the mechanical research or related technology areas. Dr. Chien was the editor-in-chief during 1980 to the end of 2002. From then on, he turned to be honorary editor-in-chief. Dr. Zhe-wei Zhou, vice president and professor of Shanghai University, has succeeded editor-in-chief since 2003. Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (English Edition) is an editor recommendation journal. It develops very quickly from its foundation. In 1980, it was quarterly, became bimonthly in 1981, and then monthly in 1985. The review period, publication period, and ratio of papers from foreign countries have also been much improved. In 2009, the average period between submission and first decision is about 3–5 months, and the ratio of published papers written by foreign authors increased to more than 39.5%.
