7th International Conference on Mechanics of Biomaterials and Tissues

7th International Conference on Mechanic 2017

Mathematical Analysis



We are pleased to announce that the seventh conference in the series returns to Hawaii. The 7th International Conference on Mechanics of Biomaterials and Tissues (ICMOBT) will take place from the 10 - 14 December 2017 in Waikoloa, Hawaii, USA.
Organised every two years, ICMOBT provides a unique international forum for researchers and practicing engineers from different disciplines to interact and exchange their latest results.
