Investigation of the mechanical behavior of biological tissues and biomaterials has been an active area of research for several decades. However, in recent years, the enthusiasm in understanding the mechanical behavior of biological tissues and biomaterials has increased significantly due to the development of novel biomaterials for new fields of application, along with the emergence of advanced computational techniques. The current Special Issue is a collection of studies that address various topics within the general theme of "mechanics of biomaterials". This editorial aims to present the context within which the studies of this Special Issue could be better understood. I, therefore, try to identify some of the most important research trends in the study of the mechanical behavior of biological tissues and biomaterials.
几十年来,对生物组织和生物材料力学行为的研究一直是一个活跃的研究领域。然而,近年来,由于新型生物材料在新应用领域的发展以及先进计算技术的出现,人们对理解生物组织和生物材料力学行为的热情显著提高。本期特刊汇集了一系列围绕“生物材料力学”这一总体主题的各项研究。这篇社论旨在介绍一个背景,以便能更好地理解本期特刊中的各项研究。因此,我试图找出生物组织和生物材料力学行为研究中一些最重要的研究趋势。
