Advances in Trauma and Injury Biomechanics

Dear Colleagues,

The human body sustains a wide range of forces and impacts from external and internal environments throughout life. These loadings can act on the body via different contacts or fields. Some of the loadings are necessary for the physiological and mechanical performance of the human body, while some of the loadings may harm the human body by violent injuries or accumulated damages.

The biomechanics of injuries or trauma is a scientific area that uses mechanical principles to explain injury and trauma rationales, predict risk factors, explore the tolerance level and response of human tissues to specific loading conditions, and provide scientific fundamentals for the ergonomic design of body protection and body supports. A sufficient exploration of the biomechanics of injury and trauma is thus efficient and necessary for the alleviation, elimination, or precaution of injuries and traumas, even for injury treatments and rehabilitation. It covers a wide range of areas, such as basic anatomy, tissue properties, tissue reaction, human motion, loading pattern, injury classification and mechanism, body support, ergonomic designs, engineering, computational analysis, etc., from micro- to macro-level science and technologies, and from the intrinsic to the extrinsic environment of the human body. It is not only a way that explores the way the body responds to various forces, but also a way to understand the physiological and mechanical performance of the human body as adaption strategies to all the sustained loading conditions.

This Special Issue on the biomechanics of injury and trauma aims to collect cutting-edge technologies, innovations, and research findings in research and development industries in the field of injury biomechanics, for the purpose of promoting applications of advances for injury precaution, as well as stimulating new creations for injury management.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Bioengineering 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 2700 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.
