Biomechanical Engineering: From Biosystems to Implant Technology

Whether talking about the tendons, bones, or the heart, each part of the human biological system has a mechanical function that is studied at a variety of levels. As such, the field of biomechanics attracts interest from those studying anatomy, physiology, engineering, orthopedics, rehabilitation medicine, sport science and medicine, ergonomics, and electro-physiological kinesiology among other disciplines. "Biomechanical Engineering: From Biosystems to Implant Technology" is the first comprehensive text for biomechanical engineers. Organized according to the success of the program at the Centre for Bioengineering at Trinity College, Dublin, chapters are written for clarity of exposition and explanation with the student in mind. It offers a broad scope covering all the topics in biomechanics/biomechanical engineering. It includes Online ancillary material to enhance the learning experience, and provides a cohesive treatment of the subject based on proven teaching at a leading university.
