Biomechanics and Biomimetics in Engineering Design
This special issue belongs to the section "Biomimetic Design, Constructions and Devices".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The inspiration for the designs, analysis, and implementation of new technologies for engineers comes from various sources. An important characteristic of a skilled engineer is the capacity to think creatively and tackle problems using a broad knowledge base. Engineers have traditionally looked to nature for inspiration, leading to the development of terms such as bioinspiration, biomimicry, and biomimetics, referring to the practice of imitating natural systems for use in engineering. Within the field of mechanical engineering, there is currently a broad spectrum of interest in bioinspired technologies across various areas such as materials science and technology, robotics, sensing, surface science, tribology, fluid mechanics, and numerous others. This Special Issue of the Journal Biomimetics comes at a particularly appropriate time of increasing activity on the topic “Biomechanics and biomimetics in Engineering Design” and offers the opportunity to spotlight the latest advances in biometric research and applications. We invite submission of high-quality papers related to recent developments of biomechanics and biomimetics in mechanical design.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biomimetics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
