This title is devoted to the constitutive aspects of the biomechanics of soft tissues. The book initiates by giving the in-depth description of the mechanics and thermodynamics that underlies the constitutive modeling of biological tissues in a continuum perspective. Further, it presents a unified framework in which electro-chemo-mechanical couplings associated with the composition-induced function of these tissues with a fixed electric charge are exposed. The last part addresses the growth of biological tissues. Articular cartilages are addressed from the points of view of their normal…mehr
This title is devoted to the constitutive aspects of the biomechanics of soft tissues. The book initiates by giving the in-depth description of the mechanics and thermodynamics that underlies the constitutive modeling of biological tissues in a continuum perspective. Further, it presents a unified framework in which electro-chemo-mechanical couplings associated with the composition-induced function of these tissues with a fixed electric charge are exposed. The last part addresses the growth of biological tissues. Articular cartilages are addressed from the points of view of their normal functioning and of the production of substitutes through tissue engineering.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
Benjamin Loret is professor of mechanics and civil engineering at the University of Grenoble, France. His research addresses the constitutive responses of engineering and biological materials to static and dynamic loadings. He has especially focused on the couplings of thermal, hydraulical, electrical, chemical and mechanical natures that are ubiquitous in fluid saturated porous media. Applications target innovative energy production systems and biomechanics of soft tissues. Fernando. M.F. Simões was born on July 23rd, 1964, in Lisboa, Portugal. He has received is Ph.D. degree in civil engineering from the Instituto Superior Técnico of the Technical University of Lisboa, Portugal, in 1997. Presently, he is Assistant Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering, Architecture and GeoResources (University of Lisbon). His research interests include structural mechanics and biomechanics.
