With millions of years’ evolution, biologies including plants and animals have possessed perfect and exquisite biological systems, with highly developed complexity and specialty. Based on the spirit “learn from nature”, people have got comprehensive understandings of the special functions of biology, and many new devices and materials have been invented by bionic design. As a consequence, Bionics has a wide spectrum of applications in many areas, such as aerospace, material science, chemical engineering, architecture.
Mechanics modeling and numerical simulations are fundamental tools in the investigation of a broad variety of physical phenomena and engineering problems, and in particular in biomechanics and biomimetic mechanics. By mechanical models, we can probe real situations simply and predict the behaviour of these complicated biological systems accurately.
In this special issue, we will collect recent advances on biomechanics and biomimetic mechanics. This topic may deal with: mechanics of tissues or organs on biology; biomimetics on surface or interface and wetting problems; cell mechanics; locomotion of animals; mechanical behaviors of plants; mechanical response of biology in multi-physical fields, etc. In this special issue, we mainly collect works with skills in modeling and numerical simulations, related to biomechanics and biomimetic mechanics. We expect these studies can enrich our knowledge on the bio-inspired world, and widen our eyes in exploring this world: beautiful and colorful.
