Both theoretical and experimental papers and survey papers on mechanics not being published elsewhere can be proposed.

In our Information Bulletin we publish the reports of conferences on mechanics as well as the activity of the Polish Society of Theoretical an Applied Mechanics accounts.

We accept articles in English, the text of JTAM paper should not exceed 6000 words or equivalent.

Two copies + diskette of the material for publication should be sent to the Editorial Office (LaTeX or TeX editors and *.pcx, *.eps graphical files, preferable).

Articles are selected for publication through the review process.

The Authors will receive 1 copy of JTAM and 15 reprints of the article.

Information in proposed manuscripts should appear in the following order:

• Article title
• Author's full Name and the place of employment (Institute or Department, University, e-mail)
• Short summary (maximum 10 lines) and three key words
• Article text (equations should be numbered separately in each section; each reference should be cited in the text by means of the last name(s) of author(s) and the date of publication of the reference)
• References in alphabetical order (russian in transcription). See the following:
