Dynamics of Biomechanical Processes

Topics of interest span the area of dynamics of biomechanical processes, and include analytical, computational, and experimental research on linear and nonlinear processes. These include, but are not limited to: linear and nonlinear dynamical phenomena in biomechanical processes such as multibody systems, musculoskeletal dynamics, organ biomechanics, human body kinematics, locomotion, medical device and prosthetic dynamics, biofluid dynamics, and physiological processes.
