摘要

Determining the mechanical properties of soft materials (e.g.,biological soft tissues,polymeric gels,and soft elastomers) across multiple length scales represents an activity of increasing importance in understanding the deformation behavior of soft materials under various stimuli.Much effort has been made in the past in this field.This theme issue of the Acta Mechanica Sinica contains a number of innovative papers regarding the mechanical characterization of soft materials from five different groups.
