40TH ANNIVERSARY OF VIETNAM JOURNAL OF MECHANICS 1979–2018

This year marks the 40^th celebration of Vietnam Journal of Mechanics - the leading national journal in the field of Mechanics.  Organized in 1979 as a quarterly peer-reviewed journal of Vietnam Mechanics communities, Vietnam Journal of Mechanics has an aim to publish papers on all branches of Mechanics and its engineering applications. This is an occasion for celebration as well as for remembrance of unforgettable memories. This also provides an opportunity to look back with pride and to make projections for the future. We commemorate the 40^th anniversary of the Vietnam Journal of Mechanics by the significant event that the journal has just been indexed in the ASEAN Citation Index Database (ACI). The success of the journal is made possible by the high interests of authors and voluntary work of the Editorial Board, and referees. Their cooperation helps to improve the quality of papers and ensure the scientific standards of the journal. Throughout forty years of publication, the journal has served a wide range of readers including researchers and lecturers all over the country in their related fields.
