欢迎参加将于2019年12月15日至19日在美国夏威夷威科洛亚举行的第八届生物材料和组织力学国际会议。

第八届生物材料和组织力学国际会议每两年举办一次，为来自不同学科的研究人员和实践工程师提供了一个独特的国际论坛，让他们相互交流和交流最新成果。

机械概念对于生命系统至关重要，因为它们具有稳定性，灵活性，运动性和生存性。在进化过程中，确定了有助于生物体实现这些各种功能的材料。从中，材料科学家从他们自己的工程解决方案中汲取了特别的灵感。同样，人类一直在寻求新的物质观念，以帮助他们克服健康方面的限制。

植入物材料的领域现在已经从静态概念转变为可以适应来自生活环境刺激的动态生物材料。这是生物材料研究的激动人心的时刻。

在对生物材料与组织的力学第八届国际会议将汇集不同的社区，讨论新材料概念，其建模和模拟，生物学和生物医学功能，最后的仿生设计的应用程序。
