Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials
The Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials is concerned with the mechanical deformation, damage and failure under applied forces, of biological material (at the tissue, cellular and molecular levels) and of biomaterials, i.e. those materials which are designed to mimic or replace biological materials.The primary focus of the journal is the synthesis of materials science, biology, and medical and dental science. Reports of fundamental scientific investigations are welcome, as are articles concerned with the practical application of materials in medical devices. Both experimental and theoretical work is of interest; theoretical papers will normally include comparison of predictions with experimental data, though we recognize that this may not always be appropriate. The journal also publishes technical notes concerned with emerging experimental or theoretical techniques, letters to the editor and, by invitation, review articles and papers describing existing techniques for the benefit of an interdisciplinary readership.The journal offers online submission, a short time to publication, the opportunity for ample space to develop an argument in full, and the services of referees with expertise in mechanical behaviour and an understanding of the special nature of biomedical materials.Examples of relevant subjects include:Stress/strai... relationships for biological materials (natural and engineered ones)Fracture mechanics of hard tissues (such as bone, teeth, and other mineralized tissues, ceramics and metals and various biomedically relevant alloys)Tribological properties of joint materials and their replacements, including coatings and surface modificationsMechani... characterisation of tissue engineering materials and scaffolds, and the investigation of mechanical cues in the context of biological processesThe mechanical behaviour of cells, including adhesion and failureMechanical properties of biological molecules such as proteins, DNA, and other biomoleculesLong-ter... fatigue, creep and wear properties of biomaterials used in implants and similar biomedical materialsThe behaviour of the human tissues under impact loading and other extreme conditionsAdditive manufacturing methods of all kinds, for metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, and other biomaterials (in medical, dental, bio-inspired and related fields)Mechanical performance of materials in plants and animals in all natural and engineered ecosystemsNew techniques for the measurement of mechanical properties in biomedical materials, in both laboratory and clinical practiceComputer simulations of material behavior at all time- and length-scales (from molecular to tissue scales), as well as the introduction of new computing techniques (such as machine learning and artificial intelligence) in the modeling and analysis of the mechanical properties of biomedical materialsClinical case histories related to material performanceMechanobi... focusing especially on the response of cells and tissues to biophysical stimuli at varied length- and time-scalesThe journal publishes papers from the proceedings of the International Conference on the Mechanics of Biomaterials and Tissues; special issues devoted to particular subjects or events will also be considered.- ISSN: 1751-6161
Image and Vision Computing
Image and Vision Computing has as a primary aim the provision of an effective medium of interchange for the results of high quality theoretical and applied research fundamental to all aspects of image interpretation and computer vision. The journal publishes work that proposes new image interpretation and computer vision methodology or addresses the application of such methods to real world scenes. It seeks to strengthen a deeper understanding in the discipline by encouraging the quantitative comparison and performance evaluation of the proposed methodology. The coverage includes: image interpretation, scene modelling, object recognition and tracking, shape analysis, monitoring and surveillance, active vision and robotic systems, SLAM, biologically-inspire... computer vision, motion analysis, stereo vision, document image understanding, character and handwritten text recognition, face and gesture recognition, biometrics, vision-based human-computer interaction, human activity and behavior understanding, data fusion from multiple sensor inputs, image databases.In addition to regular manuscripts, Image and Vision Computing Journal solicits manuscripts for the Opinions Column, aimed at initiating a free forum for vision researchers to express their opinions on past, current, or future successes and challenges in research and the community.An opinion paper should be succinct and focused on a particular topic. Addressing multiple related topics is also possible if this helps making the point. While posing questions helps raising awareness about certain issues, ideally, an opinion paper should also suggest a concrete direction how to address the issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:Comments on success and challenges in a (sub-) field of computer vision,Remarks on new frontiers in computer visionObservations on current practices and trends in research, and suggestions for overcoming unsatisfying aspectsObservations on current practices and trends in the community regarding, e.g., reviewing process, organizing conferences, how journals are run, and suggestions for overcoming unsatisfying aspectsReviews of early seminal work that may have fallen out of fashionSummaries of the evolution of one's line of researchRecommendati... for educating new generations of vision researchers.The format of an opinion paper should comply with the existing formatting guidelines for the Image and Vision Computing Journal submissions, and should not exceed 2 pages.Months of publication: January/February, March, April, May, June, July/August, September, October, November and December.- ISSN: 0262-8856

Structures
Research Journal of The Institution of Structural Engineers .AimsStructures aims to publish internationally-lead... research across the full breadth of structural engineering. Papers for Structures are particularly welcome in which high-quality research will benefit from wide readership of academics and practitioners such that not only high citation rates but also tangible industrial-related pathways to impact are achieved.ScopeStruct... seeks papers in the following areas relating to the built environment: structural engineering, structural materials, structural mechanics, behaviour and design of structures, new construction methods, structural innovation and optimisation, response of structures to extreme events, sustainability, performance-based design and other related areas.The journal’s primary focus is structural engineering and related disciplines. Papers on subject matter regarded as civil engineering infrastructure, such as pipelines, roads and railways, tunnelling or dams will not be considered. Nor will papers applying structural analysis techniques to objects unrelated to the built environment (such as aircraft design, naval architecture or medical implants).What we encourage and what to avoid?The Editors of Structures would like to encourage the submission of papers that make a significant contribution to structural engineering knowledge, developing new techniques, presenting new applications of existing methods, or offering some other form of new insight.The following types of paper will not be considered:Papers where an analytical method is developed but not validated, or where no new insight is offered into the behaviour being studied. (NB Validation need not necessarily be by means of a laboratory experiment.)Papers where an existing numerical method is applied to a slightly different type of the same problem, but no real new insight into the science is presented.Papers where standard methods, such as finite element analysis or AI, are used to match some experimental data, but no real new insight into the science is presented.Paper with a very narrow focus where research has been ‘salami sliced’ to allow multiple submissions. Instead, authors are encouraged to present a broader analysis of the subject being studied.Papers purely presenting experimental data should ensure that the findings are new, well reported, and based on well-conducted experiments.- ISSN: 2352-0124
