Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of biomechanics plays a pivotal role in understanding and controlling the mechanical behavior of biological systems at various scales. Coupled with the emergence of biomachinery—devices and machines inspired by or integrated with biological components—this area is driving groundbreaking innovations across diverse sectors, including biomedicine, rehabilitation engineering, and bio-inspired robotics. This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advancements in the design, fabrication, and application of biomechanical systems and biomachinery, showcasing their potential to transform industries and push the boundaries of engineering.
We welcome contributions that explore advancements in biomechanical testing methods, innovative biomachinery designs, and the integration of biotechnology with machine learning and multiscale simulations. Research topics can include the characterization of biological materials, damage and repair mechanisms in biological tissues, and the use of biomachinery for cutting-edge applications in healthcare, robotics, and energy systems. Review articles that discuss current trends and future challenges in biomechanics and biomachinery are also encouraged.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Biomechanical characterization of tissues and organs;
- Design and fabrication of biomachinery;
- Multiscale modeling in biomechanics;
- Damage and repair mechanisms of biological systems;
- Biofabrication techniques;
- Machine learning in biomechanics;
- Biomedical applications of biomachinery;
- Energy harvesting using biological systems.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Machines 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 2400 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.
