The Biomechanics and Mechanics of Biomedical Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Biomechanics and mechanics play crucial roles improving understanding and design of biomedical materials. Biomedical materials, such as implants, scaffolds and prosthetic devices, are designed to interact with biological systems, and their mechanical properties are of paramount importance. An in-depth understanding of biomechanics helps researchers to evaluate the performance and durability of these materials, ensuring their safe and effective usage in medical applications.

For biomedical materials, mechanics involves the study of mechanical behavior, including their stress, strain and deformation characteristics. Mechanical testing techniques, such as tensile, compression and fatigue tests, are often employed to assess the mechanical properties and behaviors of these materials. Additionally, computational modeling and simulation techniques can predict the mechanical responses of biomedical materials under different loading conditions.

The aim of this Special Issue, titled “The Biomechanics and Mechanics of Biomedical Materials”, is to compile high-quality publications and reviews related to biomechanics and mechanics of Biomedical Materials. This research scope includes, but is not limited to, the biomechanics of materials used in dentistry, orthopedics and other bioengineering sub-specialties.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
