| Summary: | "The ultimate objective of biomechanics is to define the normal envelope of anatomic and physiologic responses to distributed systems of external and internal forces, for both medical and nonmedical applications. Biomechanics: Principles and Applications offers a definitive, comprehensive review of all the major disciplines in this rapidly growing field, including recent advancements made by biomedical engineers to the understanding of fundamental aspects of physiologic function in health, disease, and environmental extremes. The chapters, each discussed by a recognized world leader in the respective field, address the subjects of biosolid mechanics and biofluid mechanics as they pertain to various subsystems of the human body. A unique feature is the convenient handbook style and tabular format that puts quantitative data at your fingertips. Illustrations further add to the value of this book. The text is concise, topical, and not overly technical. No other book covers the entire field of biomechanics so; succinctly in one volume."--Publisher description. |
