The '''''Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis''''' is a [[Scientific journal|scientific journal]] that is devoted to research in [[Physics:Mechanics|mechanics]] as a deductive, mathematical science.  The current editors in chief of the journal are Felix Otto and Vladimir Sverak.  It was founded in 1956 by [[Biography:Clifford Truesdell|Clifford Truesdell]] when he moved from [[Organization:Indiana University|Indiana University]] to [[Organization:Johns Hopkins University|Johns Hopkins]] and lost control of a similar journal he had founded a few years previously, the ''Journal of Rational Mechanics and Analysis'' (now the ''[[Organization:Indiana University Mathematics Journal|Indiana University Mathematics Journal]]'').<ref name="serrin"/>

{{blockquote|The ''Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis'' became the hallmark in the field and young scholars sought publication of their best work there as the sign of their entry into an exclusive club of perfectionists.}}

[[Biography:James Serrin|James Serrin]], a later editor of the Archive, adds that it became the center of a revival of mechanics as an academic discipline, and that by the time of Truesdell's retirement as editor in 1989 subscribing to it was "necessary for every fine scientific library".<ref name="serrin">{{Cite journal | last1 = Serrin | first1 = J. | doi = 10.1023/B:ELAS.0000005611.25238.29 | title = An Appreciation of Clifford Truesdell | journal = Journal of Elasticity | volume = 70 | issue = 1–3 | pages = 31–74 | year = 2003 }}.</ref>
