Biomechanics: Proceeding of the First Rock Island Arsenal Biomechanics Symposium April 5-6, 1967

The tw?-day symp?sium held ?n the campus ?f Augustana C?llege, R?ck Island, Illin?is, April 5 and 6, 1967, expl?red the interrelati?nship between the life sciences and engineering and attempted t? make the scientific c?mmunity m?re aware ?f an interdisciplinary appr?ach t? engineering. The symp?sium s?ught t? stimulate new mechanical engineering c?ncepts perhaps n?t p?ssible utilizing data available ?nly thr?ugh ideas derived fr?m the traditi?nal physical sciences. Dev?ted t? cl?sed l??p biomechanical systems in which bi?l?gical f?rces and feedback influence mechanical, physical, and chemical systems, this first R?ck Island Arsenal Bi?mechanics Symp?sium was c?sp?ns?red by R?ck Island Arsenal, u. S. Army Weap?ns C?mmand, U. S. Army Research Office Durham, and Augustana C?llege. It strived f?r academic excellance, and the sp?ns?rs are indebted t? the Advis?ry C?mmittee in pr?viding the guidance and participati?n required t? achieve this ?bjective as reflected in these pr?ceedings. Pers?nal thanks are extended t? Drs. R?ss C. Bean, Ge?rge Bugliarell?, R?bert G. Gesteland, Warren S. MCCull?ugh, Lawrence M. Patrick, Ali Seirig, and Heinz V?n F?erster. The planning c?mmittee, which included Pr?f. J?hn E. Ekblad, Edwin M. Vaughan, Alan G. Galbavy, and the edit?rs, are also. t? be c?mmended f?r their ef- f?rts in arranging this successful symp?sium.
