Principles of Biomechanics (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Presenting the fundamental concepts that are required for further research in this field, this volume emphasizes biodynamic modeling and human body models. Beginning with a review of gross human anatomy and a summary of basic terminology, it describes various methods of analysis, including elementary mathematics, elementary mechanics, and the mechanics of materials. Later chapters discuss the modeling of biosystems, tissue biomechanics, biodynamics, kinematics, kinetics, and the inertial properties of human body models. The book concludes with a review of sample applications of biodynamic models in activities such as lifting, maneuvering in space, walking, and swimming.
