Forensic Biomechanics and Human Injury (eBook, ePUB)

Criminal and Civil Applications - An Engineering Approach

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This reference provides a concise, comprehensive overview of human anatomy and the biomechanical factors involved in human injury. It describes the methodologies used to compute the various forces, stresses, and energies required to injure the human body. It also covers the theoretical mathematics behind understanding how injuries occur, the types of injuries, human and biological materials, age and biomechanical factors, impact loading, investigating injuries, and the importance of expert witnesses and testimony in civil and criminal cases.
