Excerpt from the Editor's foreword

This volume contains eight comprehensive papers presented as lectures during the Advanced Course on Modelling in Biomechanics (MiB), held in April 7--11, 2003 in Warsaw. The Course was organized within the framework of activities of the Centre of Excellence for Advanced Materials and Structures (AMAS). The editing of the volume was also supported by the Centre of Excellence for Applied Biomedical Modelling and Diagnostics (ABIOMED).

The lectures delivered during the course covered broad spectrum of modelling of biological materials both solids and fluids. Molecular (biophysical) aspects were also included (ionic membrane transport and muscle contraction).
