1. Introduction – Times New Roman 12 bold
"Materials Physics and Mechanics" journal publishes reviews and original research papers focused on the following topics: (1) Mechanics of composite and nanostructured materials. (2) Physics of strength and plasticity of composite and nanostructured materials. (3) Mechanics of deformation and fracture processes in conventional materials (solids). (4) Physics of strength and plasticity of conventional materials (solids). (5) Physics and mechanics of defects in composite, nanostructured, and conventional materials. (6) Mechanics and physics of materials in coupled fields. All contributions may not be published elsewhere. All papers submitted will be rigorously peer-reviewed prior to publication. Times New Roman 12, justify text on a page, 1 line spacing.

2. Paper organization
Please use Times New Roman 12 font with single line spacing in all parts of the paper, except for Title, Affiliations and corresponding author e-mail address. Please use Italic font in order to stress something. Please, use bold for headlines only.
The section or subsection title have no dot after it; after going text starts from the new line without the indent. The first lines of the following paragraphs should have 1cm indent from the left side.
Subtitles. Subtitles within one section should be bold-font typed. They are 1cm indented. In contrast to Section titles, subtitles have dot at the end and the after going text should be typed just after the dot. If possible, please, do not use second or third level subtitles.
Page numbering. Please, DO NOT use page numbering.

3. Figures
Figures are mentioned as Fig. 1, Fig. 2, etc. in the paper text. They should be placed in the proper place of the paper. For best results, please submit illustrations in the actual size at which they should be published. We are recommending intending at least one line from the previous text.
one line indent
Fig. 1. Figure caption is placed just after the image, it should be centered
one line indent
We are recommending to the authors to print the final file using some laser white-and-black printer in order to evaluate the publishing quality of the figures. Please note that the quality obtained will be some better than that at "camera-ready" printing. To obtain proper quality use file images with 300 dpi resolution (or higher). It is preferred to use Times New Roman or Arial fonts for the texts inside the figures.
one line indent
4. Equations
Equations should be typed at separate lines and subsequently numbered by Arabic numerals in round brackets; the proper punctuation marks should be used after the equation with respect to the equation position in the text.
one line indent
5. Tables
Tables mentioned as Table 1, Table 2, etc. should be placed in the proper place of the text, the one line intend between the text and the table is recommended. Table title should be typed just above the text. Table should be fit to window.
