The Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials aims at publishing selected original research contributions devoted to all natural and modern engineering materials, especially covering the following aspects, among others: micromechanics and nanomechanics of materials, relationship between the structure and mechanical properties, size effects and length/time scale transitions, material instabilities, fatigue, creep, and fracture, processing technologies and impact on mechanical properties and constitutive modelling. Articles on cutting-edge theory, simulations and experiments – used as tools for revealing novel material properties and designing new devices for structural, thermo-chemo-mechanical, and opto-electro-mechanical applications – are encouraged.
