The Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis is a scientific journal that is devoted to research in mechanics as a deductive, mathematical science. It was founded in 1956 by Clifford Truesdell. The current editors in chief are John M. Ball and Richard D. James.

Gianfranco Cabriz[1] writes that Truesdell's ideals of mathematical and typesetting rigor gave the journal a high reputation:

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.
