Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 3D print technology is expanding daily, and when it is used in the medical industry, it has excellent potential to help prolong and save lives. For instance, it's possible to reproduce customized organs and prosthetics for patients. Hence, these printed objects can be used for research and the development of prototypes. There are also 3d printer prostheses in orthodontics and dentistry. All these trends are expected to grow in 2022 and beyond. Hence, this special issue intends to contribute to the publication of reports containing interchangeable original and substantial findings wherein the mechanical behavior of “new materials” is used to explore biological problems.
Numerical/Analytical, as well as experimental papers, may be submitted for a wide range of topics in biomechanics, including, but not limited to:
- Cardiovascular and Respiratory Biomechanics - Mechanics of blood-flow, air-flow, mechanics of the soft tissues, flow-tissue or flow-prosthesis interactions;
- Dental Biomechanics - Design and analysis of dental tissues and prostheses, mechanics of chewing;
- Tissue Engineering - The role of biomechanical factors in engineered tissue replacements and regenerative medicine;
- Injury Biomechanics – Mechanics of impact and trauma;
- Orthopedic Biomechanics - Mechanics of bone fracture, mechanics of implants and implant fixation, mechanics of bones and joints, wear of natural and artificial joints;
- Rehabilitation Biomechanics - mechanics of prosthetics and orthotics.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
