Title:
  Mechanics of Biological and Bio-Replacement Materials
Organizer:
  Dr. Kalpana Katti
Description:
  Biological materials often have unique mechanical properties due to their complex and hierarchichal structures. Modeling and characterizing the mechanical behavior of such materials is a field at the forefront of science and technology due to the importance of the biological materials for materials design of the future. At the same time, biological structural materials provide inspiration for design of engineered materials for applications in medicine such as replacement of soft and hard tissues. This symposium will bring together researchers who deal with modeling and researchers dealing with characterizing the mechanical behavior of bio-replacement materials (engineered materials that replace biological tissues). Due to the complexity of biosystems, novel modeling and characterization techniques are used to understand the mechanics of such systems.

The focus of this symposium is to create a forum for synergy between modelers and experimentalists who work on the mechanics of biological materials. This symposium will bring together researchers from many areas of mechanics and materials dealing with micromechanics, continuum methods, numerical methods as well as experiments that investigate mechanics of biological materials and engineered materials for replacing biological materials.
Contributed papers are solicited in the following areas:

o Modeling and simulation of mechanical properties in biological and bio-replacement material systems.
o Continuum, atomistic and Mesoscale modeling techniques
o Multiscale methods in bridging length scales for modeling mechanics of biological and bio replacement materials
o Experimental techniques for mechanical characterization of biological and bio-replacement materials.
Key Words:
  Biological materials, mechanics, biomaterials
