N2 - Biomechanics represents one of the fastest growing areas of research in mechanics based on funding and publications. As a result of the growth of this field in engineering, it is also an evolving area within the Society for Experimental Mechanics (SEM). This paper discusses three major research areas relevant to SEM and these include characterization of organic materials, development of biocompatible engineering materials for biological systems, and design of materials inspired by nature.
