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 clinical practice. Reports of fundamental scientific investigations of a theoretical or experimental nature are welcome,
as are articles concerned with the practical application of materials in medical devices. 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 materials
- Fracture mechanics of hard tissues
- Tribological properties of joint materials
and their replacements, including coatings
- Mechanical characterisation of tissue engineering materials and scaffolds
- The
mechanical behaviour of cells, including adhesion
- Mechanical properties of biological molecules such as DNA
- Long-term
fatigue, creep and wear properties of biomaterials used in implants
- The behaviour of the human body under impact loading
- Mechanical performance of materials in plants and animals
- New techniques for the measurement of mechanical properties in
biomedical materials, in both laboratory and clinical practice
- Computer simulations of material behaviour
- Clinical
case histories related to material performance
The 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.
