In November 1993, a three-year Basic Research Project was launched by the European Commission within the ESPRIT program under the acronym CHARM (A Comprehensive Human Animation Resource Model, see Appendix). It has involved several teams working in the areas of: computer animation (like the authors), image processing, civil engineering, system control, anatomy, and orthopedics. CHARM has aimed at developing a comprehensive human resource database and a set of software tools allowing the modeling of the complex human musculoskeletal system and the simulation of its dynamics, including the finite element simulation of soft tissue deformation and muscular contraction. Originally, this book was an internal deliverable report aiming at providing an extensive preliminary review of biomechanical models for soft tissues (CHARM D4). Complemented with physiological observations and theoretical mechanics, the report has appeared to the EU experts as an original synthesis on biomechanical modeling suitable for a publication. In this scope, the content has been re-organized and extended with some notions of finite element and incremental resolution methods, in order to provide a reference document for performing similar analysis. Literature offers numerous elaborated manuals investigating deeply, but separately, physiology, theoretical mechanics, soft tissues biomechanics, and numerical methods. Very few of them allow a global understanding of these disciplines and their interrelationships in the scope of a biomechanical simulation. It is with this purpose in mind that the present book has finally been composed.
