Abstract

Respiratory biomechanics is concerned with modeling all mechanical aspects of lung function such as airflow, particle transport and tissue stresses and strains. Models within this field range from simple mechanical concepts to complex multi-scale and multi-field approaches in modern computational engineering. They have revealed the lung’s unique physiology and improved medical treatment in case of respiratory dysfunction. In this article, the current state of the art in modeling respiratory biomechanics is presented, outlining potentials and limitations of specific approaches and providing the reader with suitable tools for current and future challenges in this field.
