Preface
This book contains a collection of papers that were presented at the IUTAM Symposium on Mechanics of Biological Tissue, which was held in Graz, Austria, from June 27 to July 2, 2004. The setting of Graz was very appropriate for the symposium since it is the city where such illustrious scientists as Johannes Kepler, Ernst Mach, Ludwig Boltzmann, Erwin Schr¨ odinger and Otto Kratky spent parts of their lives, while the cultural life of Graz provided ample opportunity for complementing the scientific proceedings. Graz has an historic centre, which is one of the best preserved old town centres in Europe, and which was added to the UNESCO world cultural heritage list in 1999. The symposium brought together 96 participants from universities, research centres and clinics in 19 countries. There were 42 oral presentations, including 7 keynote lectures, and 15 poster presentations. The keynote lectures were given by P.B. Canham (University of Western Ontario, Canada), S.C. Cowin (City University of New York, USA), K. Hayashi (Osaka University, Japan), J.D. Humphrey (Texas A&M University, USA), P.J. Hunter (University of Auckland, New Zealand), R.S. Lakes (University of Wisconsin, USA), and P.D. Richardson (Brown University, USA). T
