《生物醫(yī)學材料力學行為雜志》涉及在外力作用下的機械變形、損傷和失效、生物材料（在組織、細胞和分子水平）以及生物材料，即設(shè)計用于模擬或替換生物材料的材料。該雜志的主要焦點是材料科學、生物學、醫(yī)學和牙科科學的綜合。歡迎提供基礎(chǔ)科學研究報告，以及有關(guān)材料在醫(yī)療器械中實際應(yīng)用的文章。實驗和理論工作都很有趣；理論論文通常包括預(yù)測與實驗數(shù)據(jù)的比較，盡管我們認識到這可能并不總是合適的。期刊還出版了與新興的實驗或理論技術(shù)有關(guān)的技術(shù)說明、致編輯的信函，并通過邀請，對描述現(xiàn)有技術(shù)的文章和論文進行評論，以造福跨學科的讀者。該雜志提供在線提交、短時間出版、提供充分空間充分展開辯論的機會，以及具有機械行為專業(yè)知識和了解生物醫(yī)學材料特殊性質(zhì)的裁判員的服務(wù)。相關(guān)主題的例子包括：生物材料的應(yīng)力/應(yīng)變/時間關(guān)系硬組織斷裂力學接頭材料及其替代品（包括涂層）的摩擦學性能組織工程材料和支架的機械特性細胞的機械行為，包括粘附DNA等生物分子的機械特性植入物用生物材料的長期疲勞、蠕變和磨損特性沖擊載荷下人體組織的行為動植物材料的機械性能在實驗室和臨床實踐中測量生物醫(yī)學材料力學性能的新技術(shù)材料行為的計算機模擬與材料性能相關(guān)的臨床病例記錄機械力生物學：細胞和組織對生物物理刺激的反應(yīng)該雜志發(fā)表了國際生物材料和組織力學會議論文集；還將考慮專門討論特定主題或事件的特殊問題。

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.
