Abstract

Three major biomedical problems in non-linear mechanics are stated, and several sub-problems are derived from simplifications that correspond to substituting model nanotechnology-based systems for their biological counterpart. Strategies for the solutions to these problems are briefly proposed. The medical implications of the solutions to the general and simplified problems are discussed, and perspectives on the deep transformation in health care these solutions would engender are presented.
