Physical Mesomechanics deals with the study of the deformation behavior and physical-mechanical properties of materials determined by the relationship between their hierarchical structure and physical mechanisms across multiple scales. Physical Mesomechanics is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes theoretical and experimental results in the field of physical mesomechanics and other related areas that effectively utilize physical mesomechanics concepts, including the physics of strength and plasticity, materials science, fracture mechanics, geomechanics and geodynamics, multiscale approaches to the development of advanced materials, nondestructive testing, etc. The journal accepts fulllength articles and reviews discussing the relationship between the structure, physical-mechanical properties, deformation and fracture of structural and functional materials, including nano- and metamaterials, composites, biomedical and additively manufactured materials, and geomaterials. The journal welcomes manuscripts from all countries. PEER REVIEW Physical Mesomechanics is a peer reviewed journal. We use a single blind peer review format. The average period from submission to first decision is 15 days. The average rejection rate for submitted manuscripts is 44%. The final decision on the acceptance of an article for publication is made by the Editorial Board. Any invited reviewer who feels unqualified or unable to review the manuscript due to the conflict of interests should promptly notify the editors and decline the invitation. Reviewers should formulate their statements clearly in a sound and reasoned way so that authors can use reviewer’s arguments to improve the manuscript. Personal criticism of the authors must be avoided. Reviewers should indicate in a review (i) any relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors, (ii) anything that has been reported in previous publications and not given appropriate reference or citation, (ii) any substantial similarity or overlap with any other manuscript (published or unpublished) of which they have personal knowledge.
