1. Biomechanical aspects of in vitro fertilization -- 2. Mechanical investigation for the use of polylactic acid in total hip arthroplasty using fem analysis -- 3. Numerical determination of the degree of mechanical anisotropy of the femoral neck trabecular bone -- 4. Optimization of hip implant designs based on its mechanical behavior -- 5. Numerical analysis of scoliosis brace -- 6. Small unsecured objects transported in a vehicle and their impact on human head injury– blunt injury criterion approach.

This book contains fourteen chapters dealing with various aspects of the biomechanics of today. The topics covered are glimpses of what modern biomechanics can offer scientists, students, and the general public. We hope this book can be inspiring, helpful, and interesting for many readers who are not necessarily concerned with biomechanics daily.
