Bioengineering in recent years has become one of the most attractive fields of research
and development in industry, education and medicine. The development mainly relies on
experimental investigations, which have increasingly been coupled to computer modeling.
The aim of this book is to provide basic information about the methods used in computer
modeling and simulation of biological systems and processes and to present typical results
of modeling. The book is accompanied by software on the world wide web for studying the
representative biomechanical problems in more detail. The primary goal of the book is to
serve as a textbook in various bioengineering university courses, as well as a support for
basic and clinical research.
