Computational Modeling and Simulation Examples in Bioengineering is a comprehensive guide to the rapidly evolving field of bioengineering, offering a state-of-the-art software package for hands-on modeling. It provides a theoretical foundation for simulating pathological conditions in various biological systems, including bones, muscles, cardiovascular tissue, cancers, lung, and vertigo diseases. The book employs various methodological approaches, such as finite element, dissipative particle dynamics, and lattice Boltzman, to facilitate simulations. Access to this software enhances the reader's learning capabilities in biomedical engineering.

The primary objective of this book is to present concrete examples of applied modeling in biomedical engineering. It covers a wide range of topics, equipping readers with knowledge about which problems can be modeled using specific numerical methods. With an abundance of practical examples and online software support, this book organizes the field of computational bioengineering into an accessible and thorough introduction.

The book begins by providing a background on continuum and discrete modeling, along with equations and derivations for three key numerical methods: finite element, dissipative particle dynamics, and lattice Boltzman. This foundational knowledge is essential for understanding the principles and techniques employed in the subsequent chapters.

The book then delves into specific examples in the modeling of bones, skeletal muscles, cartilage, tissue engineering, blood flow, plaque, and other biological systems. Each example is accompanied by detailed explanations, equations, and visualizations to facilitate a better understanding of the modeling process. The use of state-of-the-art software allows readers to engage in hands-on modeling and apply the theoretical concepts learned in the book.

Furthermore, the book explores stent deployment modeling and stent design and optimization techniques. Stents are medical devices used to treat cardiovascular diseases, and understanding their behavior and performance is crucial for their successful implementation. The book provides examples of stent deployment modeling and discusses various stent design and optimization algorithms, such as finite element and lattice Boltzman methods.

In conclusion, Computational Modeling and Simulation Examples in Bioengineering is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in the field of bioengineering. It offers a comprehensive introduction to the emerging field, providing theoretical background, methodological approaches, and practical examples. With access to state-of-the-art software, readers can engage in hands-on modeling and enhance their understanding of the complex biological systems studied in bioengineering.
