Abstract
An optimistic view on biomechanics research is taken primarily from the remarkable beginning recently made in the integration of applied mechanics and biology. The paper projects the future research in the mechanics of physiological systems, biomechanics of trauma, mechanics in molecular biology, animal models in clinical biomechanics, prostheses, artifical organs, instruments, and equipment. Also considered are the interface between engineering mechanics and biomechanics, collaboration between life scientists and engineers, and the educational implication of advances in bioengineering.
