Journal of Biomechanical Engineering
Submit Paper
Whether you are contributing an original research paper or a review of existing work, please discuss the fundamental challenges in your contribution, explain how this research addresses these challenges in the context of tissue biomechanics, and provide insights on potential future directions and unresolved challenges.
Topic Areas
THE SCOPE OF THIS ISSUE INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO:- Uniqueness: Ensuring biomechanical parameters reflect true tissue properties.
- Identifiability: Identifiability of tissue properties and selecting appropriate models and experiments.
- Limitations: Challenges in tissue property evaluation (e.g., variability, nonlinearity, anisotropy).
- Complexity: Balancing accuracy and practicality in biomechanical models.
- Computational cost: Feasibility of simulations; AI/machine learning applications.
- Benchmarking: Comparing methods using materials with known properties.
- Integrity: Enhancing validity, reproducibility, and rigor in tissue biomechanics.
Submission Instructions
Due to the limited number of available slots for review papers, authors interested in submitting a review article should obtain approval from the editors prior to submission.Papers should be submitted electronically to the journal through the ASME Journal Tool. If you already have an account, log in as an author and select Submit Paper. If you do not have an account, you can create one here.
Once at the Paper Submittal page, select the Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, and then under the Special Issue field, select Special Issue on Challenges in Evaluation and Identification of Tissue Biomechanical Properties and Parameters.
Papers received after the deadline or papers not selected for the Special Issue may be accepted for publication in a regular issue.
