Preface
Because of rapid developments in computer technology and computational techniques, advances in a
wide spectrum of technologies, and other advances coupled with cross-disciplinary pursuits between
technology and its applications to human body processes, the field of biomechanics continues to evolve.
Many areas of significant progress can be noted. These include dynamics of musculoskeletal systems,
mechanics of hard and soft tissues, mechanics of bone remodeling, mechanics of implant-tissue interfaces,
cardiovascular and respiratory biomechanics, mechanics of blood and air flow, flow-prosthesis interfaces,
mechanics of impact, dynamics of man–machine interaction, and more.
Needless to say, the great breadth and significance of the field on the international scene require several
volumes for an adequate treatment. This is the third in a set of four volumes, and it treats the area of
musculoskeletal models and techniques.
The four volumes constitute an integrated set that can nevertheless be utilized as individual volumes.
The titles for each volume are
Computer Techniques and Computational Methods in Biomechanics
Cardiovascular Techniques
Musculoskeletal Models and Techniques
Biofluid Methods in Vascular and Pulmonary Systems
The contributions to this volume clearly reveal the effectiveness and significance of the techniques
available and, with further development, the essential role that they will play in the future. I hope that
students, research workers, practitioners, computer scientists, and others on the international scene will
find this set of volumes to be a unique and significant reference source for years to come.
