Fundamentals of Biomechanics

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This textbook provides a comprehensive survey of how the principles of mechanics are applied to human systems and organs. After a review of terminology, a summary of human anatomy, and a presentation of anthropometric data, the text discusses methods for biomechanical analyses including essential mathematics, mechanics, and modeling techniques. It then covers tissue biomechanics, kinematics, and dynamics of human body models, and applications such as lifting, walking, swimming, and accident victim simulation. Each chapter contains reference lists for more in-depth study and problems sets with solutions.
