Special Issue
A special issue of Mechanics Research Communications titled "Current Trends and Advances in Multiscale Innovative Materials and Structures" will collect original, peer-reviewed contributions presented at the Workshop.
The issue is aimed at collecting articles at the forefront of applied mechanics, material science and engineering, and physics to further our understanding of mechanics of materials at different scales, and its application to the design, modeling, manufacturing and experimentation of innovative multiscale materials and structures.
Manuscript submissions for this special issue are now open. The Call for Papers is available on the MRC journal homepage at the following link
When submitting a manuscript, please select "VSI: Multiscale Metamaterials" as the Article Type.
