Symposium 19. Mechanics of Biomedical Materials and Devices
The aim of this Symposium is to bring together specialists in mechanics and micromechanics of materials, applied mathematics, continuum mechanics, materials science, physics, biomechanics and medical engineering to discuss the latest developments and trends in analysis of deformation, damage and fracture processes as well as mechanical properties and performance of biomedical materials and devices using experimental testing, microstructural characterisation and numerical simulations. The topics of the Symposium include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Experimental and computational analysis of biomedical materials and devices (orthopaedic, dental, cardiovascular, etc.);
- Bio-inspired and biomimetic materials and structures;
- Mechanical properties and performance of biomedical materials in vivo;
- Mechanics of 3d-printed biomedical components and structures;
- Mechanical characterisation of artificial tissues and scaffolds;
- Mechanics of cells;
- Fracture mechanics of biological tissues;
- Damage in hard and soft biotissues;
- Fatigue, creep and biodegradation of biomedical materials;
- Responses of biological tissues and biomedical materials to dynamic loading;
- Structural integrity of prostheses.
