Produktbeschreibung

Thisbook provides a state-of-the-art update, as well as perspectives on futuredirections of research and clinical applications in the implementation ofbiomechanical and biophysical experimental, theoretical and computationalmodels which are relevant to military medicine. Such experimental and modelingefforts are helpful, on the one hand, in understanding the aetiology,pathophysiology and dynamics of injury development and on the other hand inguiding the development of better equipment and protective gear or devices thatshould ultimately reduce the prevalence and incidence of injuries or lessentheir hazardous effects. The book is useful for military-oriented biomedicalengineers and medical physicists, as well as for military physiologists andother medical specialists who are interested in the science and technologyimplemented in modern investigations of military related injuries.
