Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials

The Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials is concerned with the mechanical deformation, damage and failure under applied forces, of biological material (at the tissue, cellular and molecular levels) and of biomaterials, i.e. those materials which are designed to mimic or replace biological materials.The primary focus of the journal is the synthesis of materials science, biology, and medical and dental science. Reports of fundamental scientific investigations are welcome, as are articles concerned with the practical application of materials in medical devices. Both experimental and theoretical work is of interest; theoretical papers will normally include comparison of predictions with experimental data, though we recognize that this may not always be appropriate. The journal also publishes technical notes concerned with emerging experimental or theoretical techniques, letters to the editor and, by invitation, review articles and papers describing existing techniques for the benefit of an interdisciplinary readership.The journal offers online submission, a short time to publication, the opportunity for ample space to develop an argument in full, and the services of referees with expertise in mechanical behaviour and an understanding of the special nature of biomedical materials.Examples of relevant subjects include:Stress/strain/time relationships for biological materialsFracture mechanics of hard tissuesTribological properties of joint materials and their replacements, including coatingsMechanical characterisation of tissue engineering materials and scaffoldsThe mechanical behaviour of cells, including adhesionMechanical properties of biological molecules such as DNALong-term fatigue, creep and wear properties of biomaterials used in implantsThe behaviour of the human tissues under impact loadingMechanical performance of materials in plants and animalsNew techniques for the measurement of mechanical properties in biomedical materials, in both laboratory and clinical practiceComputer simulations of material behaviorClinical case histories related to material performanceMechanobiology: response of cells and tissues to biophysical stimuliThe journal publishes papers from the proceedings of the International Conference on the Mechanics of Biomaterials and Tissues; special issues devoted to particular subjects or events will also be considered.

《生物医学材料力学行为杂志》涉及在外力作用下的机械变形、损伤和失效、生物材料（在组织、细胞和分子水平）以及生物材料，即设计用于模拟或替换生物材料的材料。该杂志的主要焦点是材料科学、生物学、医学和牙科科学的综合。欢迎提供基础科学研究报告，以及有关材料在医疗器械中实际应用的文章。实验和理论工作都很有趣；理论论文通常包括预测与实验数据的比较，尽管我们认识到这可能并不总是合适的。期刊还出版了与新兴的实验或理论技术有关的技术说明、致编辑的信函，并通过邀请，对描述现有技术的文章和论文进行评论，以造福跨学科的读者。该杂志提供在线提交、短时间出版、提供充分空间充分展开辩论的机会，以及具有机械行为专业知识和了解生物医学材料特殊性质的裁判员的服务。相关主题的例子包括：生物材料的应力/应变/时间关系硬组织断裂力学接头材料及其替代品（包括涂层）的摩擦学性能组织工程材料和支架的机械特性细胞的机械行为，包括粘附DNA等生物分子的机械特性植入物用生物材料的长期疲劳、蠕变和磨损特性冲击载荷下人体组织的行为动植物材料的机械性能在实验室和临床实践中测量生物医学材料力学性能的新技术材料行为的计算机模拟与材料性能相关的临床病例记录机械力生物学：细胞和组织对生物物理刺激的反应该杂志发表了国际生物材料和组织力学会议论文集；还将考虑专门讨论特定主题或事件的特殊问题。
