Mechanics of Materials
A section of Materials (ISSN 1996-1944).
Section Information
Mechanics of Materials aims to disseminate high-quality research work in the field of mechanics of engineering and natural materials. It reports the latest and most important advances in mechanics-guided/based design and synthesis, mechanical behaviors, properties and mechanisms, microstructure–mechanical–properties relationships of various engineering materials (including metals and alloys, polymers, ceramics, carbon materials, amorphous materials, granular materials and composites etc.), as well as biomaterials and natural materials. It also encourages interdisciplinary research between mechanics and materials, physics, and chemistry, which is referred to as X-mechanics. It focuses on mechanics-based studies in emerging areas such as additive manufacturing, machine learning, low-dimensional materials, architected materials, mechanical metamaterials and batteries, etc. Mechanics of Materials covers all experimental, computational, and theoretical studies related to the mechanics of current and emerging materials.
