    1999 SUMMER BIOENGINEERING CONFERENCE

    CALL FOR PAPERS

    BIG SKY MONTANA

    JUNE 16 - 20, 1999


    The Biomaterials Committee of the American Society of Mechanical
    Engineers is pleased to announce the following call for abstracts for
    the fourth Summer Bioengineering Conference to be held in Big Sky,
    Montana. By "biomaterials", we refer to any man-made material, inert
    or living, to be used in the replacement of human tissue. The
    biomaterials focus is a recent initiative by ASME that emphasizes the
    following mechanical aspects of biomaterials:

    1 - Experimental: Sophisticated mechanical testing of materials,
    especially multi-axial methods, effects of large deformations,
    application of novel methods of strain measurement for complex material
    behavior, thermal and diffusion properties, fatigue testing.

    2 - Numerical/analytical: FEM, CFD, and development of new methods to
    handle complex mechanical behavior such as new strain energy functions
    for complex biomaterials.

    There are two sessions planned for the summer meeting. One session will
    be devoted to more traditional biomaterials, such as metals, ceramics,
    and polymers. The second session will focus on the following
    tissue-engineering oriented topics:

    1. Design and mechanical behavior of scaffolds for tissue engineering
    2. In-vivo remodeling of tissue engineered materials
    3. Computational models for scaffolds for use in tissue engineering

    Abstracts are to be submitted electronically for publication on 8.5 x 11
    inch paper. The formatting and electronic submission instructions are
    available online at http://www.asme.org/divisions/bed/smr99afi.html.
    General information about the meeting may be obtained from
    http://www.asme.org/divisions/bed/summer99.html or by contacting:
