This book describes the fundamental knowledge of mechanics and its application to biomaterials. An overview of computer modeling in biomaterials is offered and multiple fields where biomaterials are used are reviewed with  emphasis to the importance of the mechanical properties of biomaterials. The reader will obtain a better understanding of the current techniques to synthesize, characterize and integrate biomaterials into the human body.
