Traditionally, applications of biomechanics will model system-level
aspects of the human body. As a result, the majority of
technological progress to date appears in system-level device
development. More recently, biomechanical initiatives are
investigating biological sub-systems such as tissues, cells, and
molecules. Fueled by advances in experimental methods and
instrumentation, these initiatives, in tu, directly drive the
development of biological nano- and microtechnologies.
A complete, concise reference, Biomechanics integrates coverage of
system and sub-system models, to enhance overall understanding of
human function and performance and open the way for new
discoveries. Drawn from the third edition of the widely acclaimed
and bestselling The Biomedical Engineering Handbook, this is a
comprehensive, state-of-the-science resource conceing the
principles and applications of biomechanics at every level. The
book presents substantial updates and revisions from the Handbook’s
previous editions, as well as an entirely new chapter introducing
current methods and strategies for modeling cellular mechanics.
Organized in a systematic manner, the book begins with coverage of
musculoskeletal mechanics including hard- and soft tissue and joint
mechanics and their applications to human function. Contributions
explore several aspects of biofluid mechanics and cover a wide
range of circulatory dynamics such as blood vessel and blood cell
mechanics and transport.
Other topics include the mechanical functions and significance of
the human ear and the performance characteristics of the human body
during exercise and exertion. The book contains more than 140
illustrations, 60 tables, and a variety of useful equations to
assist in modeling biomechanical behaviors. Incorporating material
across the breadth of the field, Biomechanics is a complete,
concise reference for the skilled professional as well as an
introduction to the novice or student of biomedical engineering.
