Riassunto

Computational Modelling of Biomechanics and Biotribology in the Musculoskeletal System reviews how a wide range of materials are modelled and how this modelling is applied. Computational modelling is increasingly important in the design and manufacture of biomedical materials, as it makes it possible to predict certain implant-tissue reactions, degradation, and wear, and allows more accurate tailoring of materials' properties for the in vivo environment.

Part I introduces generic modelling of biomechanics and biotribology with a chapter on the fundamentals of computational modelling of biomechanics in the musculoskeletal system, and a further chapter on finite element modelling in the musculoskeletal system. Chapters in Part II focus on computational modelling of musculoskeletal cells and tissues, including cell mechanics, soft tissues and ligaments, muscle biomechanics, articular cartilage, bone and bone remodelling, and fracture processes in bones. Part III highlights computational modelling of orthopedic biomaterials and interfaces, including fatigue of bone cement, fracture processes in orthopedic implants, and cementless cup fixation in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Finally, chapters in Part IV discuss applications of computational modelling for joint replacements and tissue scaffolds, specifically hip implants, knee implants, and spinal implants; and computer aided design and finite element modelling of bone tissue scaffolds.

This book is a comprehensive resource for professionals in the biomedical market, materials scientists and mechanical engineers, and those in academia.

• Covers generic modelling of cells and tissues; modelling of biomaterials and interfaces; biomechanics and biotribology
• Discusses applications of modelling for joint replacements and applications of computational modelling in tissue engineering

Computational modelling is increasingly important in the design and manufacture of biomedical materials as it makes it possible to predict certain implant-tissue reactions, degradation and wear, and allows more accurate tailoring of materials’ properties for the in vivo environment. Computational modelling of biomechanics and biotribology in the musculoskeletal system reviews how a wide range of materials are modelled and how this modelling is applied.

Part I introduces generic modelling of biomechanics and biotribology with a chapter on the fundamentals of computational modelling of biomechanics in the musculoskeletal system and a further chapter which provides an overview of finite element modelling in the musculoskeletal system. Chapters in Part II focus on computational modelling of musculoskeletal cells and tissues including cell mechanics, soft tissues and ligaments, muscle biomechanics, articular cartilage, bone and bone remodelling, and fracture processes in bones. Part III moves on to highlight computational modelling of orthopaedic biomaterials and interfaces including fatigue of bone cement, fracture processes in orthopaedic implants, and cementless cup fixation in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Finally, chapters in Part IV discuss applications of computational modelling for joint replacements and tissue scaffolds. Chapters explore computational modelling of hip implants, knee implants, and spinal implants, and computer aided design and finite element modelling of bone tissue scaffolds.

Computational modelling of biomechanics and biotribology in the musculoskeletal system is a comprehensive resource for professionals in the biomedical market, materials scientists and mechanical engineers, and those in academia.
