Aims & Scope

Physical Mesomechanics is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to the mechanical behavior of materials at the mesoscale. Publishes full-length articles and reviews discussing the relationship between structure, physical-mechanical properties, deformation, and fracture of structural and functional materials. Covers various topics, including fatigue and creep behavior, mechanical testing techniques, material design and optimization, geomechanics and geodynamics, and many more. Welcomes manuscripts in English from all countries.
