JMBBM 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. The primary focus 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. 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 tissues 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 behavior; Clinical case histories related to material performance; Mechanobiology: response of cells and tissues to biophysical stimuli.
