Mechanics of Materials is a rapidly evolving discipline driven by fundamental breakthroughs and feats of incredible ingenuity and innovation. None of these advancements would be possible without the talented community of researchers working across the world, from Nobel Prize winners to rising stars. This Research Topic aims to celebrate those scientists leading the way.
Contributors to this collection were either Editorial Board members of the Mechanics of Materials section, or were nominated by the Board for their research contributions. By showcasing their joint work here we aim to provide both a snapshot of the current field as well as a glimpse of what the next decade might hold
We welcome Original Research and Review articles, on themes including but not limited to:
• solid mechanics
• adhesion
• fracture mechanics
• fatigue
• dynamic fracture
• plasticity
• dislocations
• nanomechanics
• bio-inspired mechanics
• mechanics of biological and soft materials
• friction
• lubrication and wear, thus tribology and nanotribology
