One of the greatest challenges facing the computational engineering community is to extend the
success of computational mechanics to fields outside traditional engineering in particular to
biology the biomedical sciences and medicine. The Computational Biomechanics for Medicine
series provides an opportunity for specialists in computational biomechanics to present their
latest methodologies and advancements. This 5th edition comprises nine of the latest
developments in both fundamental science and patient-specific applications from researchers in
Australia New Zealand USA UK France Ireland and China. Some of the interesting topics
discussed are: cellular mechanics tumor growth and modeling medical image analysis and both
patient-specific fluid dynamics and solid mechanic simulations.
