A one-week Summer School on "Modeling and Computation in Biomechanics" will take place in Graz, Austria, in September 15-19, 2008.
The aim of the Summer School is to present a state of-the-art
introduction to biomechanical modeling and computation at different length scales. The
emphasis is on the nonlinear behavior embracing models of molecular dynamics,
single filaments, network structures, the cytoskeleton and the nucleus. Multiscale models and continuum models for soft tissues including arteries, aortic valves,
cartilage and the
cornea will also be presented.
The Summer School is addressed to PhD students and postdoctoral
researchers in mechanical and civil engineering, applied mathematics, (bio)physics,
biomedical engineering, physiology and materials science interested in broadening
their interests
in the area of biomechanics, and more senior scientists and engineers
(including some
from relevant industries).
