This textbook describes the biomechanics of bone, cartilage, tendons and ligaments. It is rigorous in its approach to the mechanical properties of the skeleton

Cowin (New York Center for Biomedical Engineering) and Humphrey (biomedical engineering, Texas A&M U.) present seven papers that discuss current research and fu

Knowledge of the mechanical properties of the skeletal system is important to understanding how our body works and how to repair it when it is damaged. This tex

The structures of living tissues are continually changing due to growth and response to the tissue environment, including the mechanical environment. Tissue Mec

The mechanics of biological tissues is a multidisciplinary and rapidly expanding area of research. This book points to important directions combining mechanical
