The effects of earthquakes have highlighted the importance of structural integrity and resilience during earthquakes. In response, Engineering Failure Analysis is planning a Special Issue to cover key topics in this important field which we hope will be a valuable resource for both established researchers and practitioners and new entrants working in all aspects of this extensive subject. Full details are at: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/engineering-failure-analysis/call-for-papers/special-issue-of-engineering-failure-analysis-on-structural-failures-in-earthquakes/

The special issue on "Computational and Theoretical Materiomics: Properties of Biological and de novo Bioinspired Materials" has now been published. A list of papers is included below. A sincere thank you to all contributors! Anyone interested in a reprint of any of the articles please send me a message.

Recently published, this special issue of the Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, dedicated to ‘Nanoindentation of Biological Materials' provides a snapshot of the novel uses on nanoindentation technology that is now readily available to researchers and expands the scope of existing techniques to optimize methods for biological tissues and related biomaterials.
