About

Mechanics in medicine is an interdisciplinary research field that applies the principles and methods of mechanics to study biological systems and medical phenomena. It investigates the mechanical forces, deformations, and flows experienced by tissues, organs, cells, and biological fluids, analyzing their influence on physiological processes, disease progression, and therapeutic outcomes. This field employs quantitative analysis, mathematical modeling, experimental techniques, and computational simulations to understand and predict mechanical behavior within the body, providing crucial insights for diagnostic development, therapeutic interventions, medical device design, and tissue engineering.
