Vitaly Kisin Sep 27, 2007:
I am not sure I understand your question re my suggestion, aren't you splitting hair? The theory is said in the Russian original to constitute a part of a field of knowledge, and can be classified as such, not so? Looks like that to me

to relate

There is good reason to relate this theory to one of the branches of mesomechanic.

Мне кажется, что тут не сколько "классифицировать", сколько "соотносить".

Вообще странное предложение, надо сказать... Теории ведь разрабатываются уже в рамках каких-то направлений, а не просто так - разработал теорию на пустом месте, а потом думаешь, к чему бы ее отнести :-)

"There is every justification to class this theory among directions in mesomechanics"
Something along these lines, I think

I don't think there is a huge difference, but"classify" is certainly a good option

justification in classifying this theory as

I encountered `to classify' in this sense considerably more often than `to class'
Note from asker:
Doesn't it follow from your version that the theory IS a research area of mechanics? I read the original as "the theory falls into/pertains to a research area of" rather than being an area itself

agree Alexander Demyanov : reasons to classify as
