(SUBMIT ONE PAGE ABSTRACT FOR REVIEW BY JUNE 30 1999)
Theoretical and computational approaches for adaptive
bone/tissue/implant/interface analysis, bone remodelling, growth and
adaptation,bone fracture/damage and fracture healing, bone
distraction.

metal/ceramic and cemented/non-cemented systems, stability of hip and
knee prosthesis, bone remodelling following hip/knee replacements,
modelling of biodegradable implants.
Cardiovascular mechanics/physiology, fluid structure interaction in
the cardiovascular system, computational hemodynamics, CFD in large
blood vessels.
Soft-tissue modelling and material property identification, damage
and adaptation of soft tissues: skin/muscle/ligament.
Image-guided surgery and therapy, image processing for biomechanical
analysis, dynamic CT/Xray/MR imaging of joints/spine: tracking,
segmentation, animation and display techniques in biomechanics.
Finite elements methods in clinical applications; problems and
solutions.
Cell mechanics, computational tools for functional tissue
engineering, hierarchical modelling of tissue mechanics from organ
level to cell level, homogenisation methods for biological structures
and micro-mechanical computational models, modelling of bone
structures and osteoporosis.
Control and dynamics of the musculoskeletal system, modelling of
gait analysis and deviation, dynamics of posture and motion, spine
biomechanics, joint/ligament biomechanics and simulation of joint
replacement systems.
Virtual reality in time-frequency/non-linear dynamics, biosignal
interpretation, health informatics, visualisation of data/information,
telemetry/telemedicine.
Modelling of human body impact, damage, bone fracture and whiplash.
Design, analysis and optimisation of medical devices, validation and
accuracy of computational/experimental models, testing procedures,
experimental methods and identification of material parameters.
DENTAL/CRANIOFACIAL BIOMECHANICS AND MATERIALS
Modelling of oral & dental tissue response to loads and materials,
dental restorative materials and systems, dental implants, cements and
ceramics. Novel validation methods for dental tissues and material
behaviour.
Craniofacial mechanics, head/brain impact, modelling TMJ/occusal
behaviour and maxillofacial reconstruction procedures.
Modelling of orthodontic appliances/brackets and fixation systems,
constitutive models for the periodontal ligament including response to
tooth movement, shape memory alloys, novel mechanical/adhesive systems
