In this book, the authors present in detail several recent methodologies
and algorithms that they developed during the last fifteen years. The
deterministic methods account for uncertainties through empirical safety
factors, which implies that the actual uncertainties in materials,
geometry and loading are not truly considered. This problem becomes much
more complicated when considering biomechanical applications where a
number of uncertainties are encountered in the design of prosthesis
systems. This book implements improved numerical strategies and
algorithms that can be applied to biomechanical studies.
