Recent topics in biomechanics and mechanobiology

摘要

Biomechanics may be seen as an independent discipline of research with its own methods, approaches, and a very long history-questions related to the functioning of living matter have preoccupied philosophers and scientists for millennia, in fact. Notwithstanding, it was continuously advanced by the theories and techniques established for classical engineering materials. Both the specific developments and those adopted and adapted from other mechanical disciplines render biomechanics a continuously evolving field until today.
