《應變》是一本國際期刊，包含了對結構和系統力學性能測量的前沿研究成果。應變更新工程師和科學家在測量和當前研究活動的新進展。該雜志包括了所有工程學科的論文，涉及材料性能和負載下的退化，結構設計和測量技術。雖然軸頸的推力是實驗性的，但數值模擬和驗證也包括在覆蓋范圍內。

Strain is an international journal that contains contributions from leading-edge research on the measurement of the mechanical behaviour of structures and systems. Strain updates engineers and scientists with new developments in measurement and current research activities. The journal includes papers from all engineering disciplines that deal with material behaviour and degradation under load, structural design and measurement techniques. Although the thrust of the journal is experimental, numerical simulations and validation are included in the coverage.
