    SYMPOSIUM TOPICS:


    BIOMECHANICS AND BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING


    ** Medical device modelling and design: design/ analysis/
    optimisation of medical devices, experimental validation, prediction
    of short & long term tissue interactions


    ** Motion analysis and simulation: measurement and analysis of human
    and animal movement, estimation of bone positions during movement,
    simulation and modelling of the musculoskeletal system, impact &
    injury biomechanics


    ** Cellular biomechanics: bone remodelling, mechano-transduction,
    tissue engineering, implant - bone interface analysis, wound and
    fracture healing, hierarchical methods


    ** Soft tissues: Analysis, material models and testing of soft
    tissue, skin, ligaments, tendons, muscles


    ** Poroelasticity: Fluid transport, modelling of porous media,
    coupled mechanical/fluid/species transport in biological tissue


    ** Medical computing: medical imaging including image based surgical
    devices (tools and implants), CT/X ray/MRI/ultrasound, scanning
    techniques for tissue characterisation, medical informatics and
    virtual reality systems, computer aided surgery


    ** Biofluids: CFD, blood flow, fluid/ structure interactions,
    cardiovascular mechanics


    ** Damage and fracture mechanics: damage accumulation, fatigue, life
    prediction, computational fracture mechanics


    ** Computational methods in biomechanics: solvers, algorithms,
    parallel processing, boundary element and other methods



    DENTAL BIOMECHANICS AND MATERIALS

    (Supported by EPSRC Biodental Network: http://biodental.uwcm.ac.uk)


    ** Modelling and response of tissue and materials: dental restorative
    materials, implants, cements and ceramics, tissue response to loads
    and materials, wear of occlusal surfaces


    ** Craniofacial mechanics: jaw movement relationship to food particle
    flow, skeletal pattern and masticatory function, modelling of
    TMJ/occlusal behaviour, oral/maxillofacial reconstruction procedures


    ** Orthodontic appliances: modelling of appliances/brackets, material
    laws for the periodontal ligament, orthodontic tooth movement, shape
    memory materials, novel attachment systems


    ** Reconstruction techniques: rapid prototyping, patient dependent
    modelling, image analysis and computer assisted surgical techniques
