Abstract

Through internationally co-authored mechanics articles from the Science Citation Index Expanded database, we analyze international collaboration of 30 countries in mechanics. We mapping for the international mechanics collaboration network and display the strong ties of the collaboration. Our findings show that the USA is the most important core nodes in the network of international collaboration. In addition, the UK, France and Germany are also the most important nodes. European countries as a whole play the most important role in
international mechanics collaboration.
