In recent years the Finite Element Method has not only been used in classical fields of research such as engineering mechanics, but also to solve medical and biomechanical problems. For this reason in 1993 we decided to devote this workshop primarily to biomechanics, biomedical engineering, medicine and adjacent fields of research. In the first place the workshop should serve for an exchange of experience. Over the past eight years it has grown into an ideal discussion forum. Due to the variety of topics, the participants will obtain an excellent survey of the present state of the art and of various applications of the Finite Element Method to diverse fields of research. Especially for young scientists, the workshop provides an ideal possibility to present and discuss results of research in an uncomplicated scientific environment. Participants from industry will have the possibility to get an overview of various fields of application of the Finite Element Method and of the complex field of Biomedical/Biomechanical research. The workshop additionally provides the possibility of an approach between universities, research establishments and industry. Over the last years many cooperations between participants of industry and research establishments have arisen. The workshop will be held in Ulm, Germany on July 18th and 19th 2002. During that time a traditional village fair, the so-called "Schwörwoche", will take place in Ulm. It is accompanied by many interesting events . The "Schwörwoche" ends on Monday, July 22nd , with a variety of events including a procession of floats on the river Danube ("Nabada"), Concerts, Expositions,... This day is called "Schwörmontag". We cordially invite you to Ulm and would be pleased to welcome you as a participant helping us to contribute actively to this workshop. Should you be interested in a special topic please contact us via mail , fax , e-mail or telephone. Please find the * registration form * here. Workshop topics * mechanics of materials (characterization of materials) * biomaterials * nonlinear analysis (e.g. biological tissues, shape memory alloys) * fracture healing * coupled field ananlysis * optimization of implant design * generation of CAD models of anatomical structures * biomedical imaging and image processing * meshing algorithms * bone remodeling * fluid dynamics -- Universitaetsklinikum Ulm and Universitaetsrechenzentrum Ulm Poliklinik fuer Kieferorthopaedie Oberer Eselsberg, D-89081 Ulm Tel.: ++49 731 500 23736 FAX.: ++49 731 500 23686 e-mail: kfo@kfohp1.medizin.uni-ulm.de http://www.uni-ulm.de/uni/intgruppen/fem/index.html .
