Sinossi

This book is concerned with the study of continuum mechanics applied to biological systems, i.e., continuum biomechanics. This vast and exciting subject allows description of when a bone may fracture due to excessive loading, how blood behaves as both a solid and fluid, down to how cells respond to mechanical forces that lead to changes in their behavior, a process known as mechanotransduction. We have written for senior undergraduate students and first year graduate students in mechanical or biomedical engineering, but individuals working at biotechnology companies that deal in biomaterials or biomechanics should also find the information presented relevant and easily accessible. Table of Contents: Tensor Calculus / Kinematics of a Continuum / Stress / Elasticity / Fluids / Blood and Circulation / Viscoelasticity / Poroelasticity and Thermoelasticity / Biphasic Theory

Informazioni sull?autore

K. A. Athanasiou is a Distinguished Professor and the Chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of California Davis. He holds a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering (bioengineering) from Columbia University.R.M. Natoli received his Ph.D. degree from Professor Athanasiou’s laboratory. He is currently on clinical rotations at Baylor College of Medicine as part of the MSTP program. His research project focused on impact loading of articular cartilage and mechanobiological aspects of articular cartilage tissue engineering. He also holds a B.S. in biological chemistry and A.B. in chemistry from the University of Chicago.
