So-called bioengineering is, indeed, of an interdisciplinary nature. It covers very huge fields and concerns many various concepts and ideas. Bioengineering, in this sense, appears to include the fields, in terms of terminology, of bioscience, biotechnology, biomaterials, biomechanical behaviour, biomechanics, and so forth. On the other hand, it seems to be difficult to draw distinctions among these fields, as is often the case in such interdisciplinary science and technology. Then the question may arise what are bioengineering, biotechnology, biomaterials, biomechanical behaviour, biomechanics, etc.? Herein, from this point of view, an attempt will be made to consider the interaction among the concepts and the prevalent approaches in each separate field called biomaterials, biomechanical behaviour, and biomechanics. Also, some approaches and methodologies that remain unknown have been pointed out for future new development of the research in the mechanical behaviour of bio- and biomedical materials and in bioengineering.
所谓的生物工程确实具有跨学科性质。它涵盖的领域极为广阔，涉及诸多不同的概念和思想。从这个意义上讲，生物工程在术语方面似乎涵盖了生物科学、生物技术、生物材料、生物力学行为、生物力学等领域。另一方面，正如这类跨学科科学技术中常见的那样，要在这些领域之间进行区分似乎很困难。于是可能会产生这样的问题：生物工程、生物技术、生物材料、生物力学行为、生物力学等是什么？在此，从这个角度出发，将尝试探讨在被称为生物材料、生物力学行为和生物力学的各个单独领域中概念之间的相互作用以及普遍采用的方法。此外，还指出了一些未知的方法和方法论，以促进生物和生物医学材料力学行为以及生物工程研究的未来新发展。
