Introductory Biomechanics is a new, integrated text written
specifically for engineering students. It provides a broad overview
of this important branch of the rapidly growing field of
bioengineering. A wide selection of topics is presented, ranging
from the mechanics of single cells to the dynamics of human
movement. No prior biological knowledge is assumed and in each
chapter, the relevant anatomy and physiology are first described.
The biological system is then analyzed from a mechanical viewpoint
by reducing it to its essential elements, using the laws of
mechanics and then tying mechanical insights back to biological
function. This integrated approach provides students with a deeper
understanding of both the mechanics and the biology than from
qualitative study alone. The text is supported by a wealth of
illustrations, tables and examples, a large selection of suitable
problems and hundreds of current references, making it an essential
textbook for any biomechanics course. C. Ross Ethier is a professor
of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, the Canada Research Chair
in Computational Mechanics, and the Director of the Institute of
Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering at the University of
Toronto, with cross-appointment to the Department of Ophthalmology
& Vision Sciences. His research focuses on biomechanical
factors in glaucoma and blood flow and mass transfer in the large
arteries. He has taught biomechanics for over ten years. Craig A.
Simmons is the Canada Research Chair in Mechanobiology and an
assistant professor of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the
University of Toronto, with cross-appointments to the Institute of
Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering andthe Faculty of
Dentistry. His research interests include cell and tissue
biomechanics and cell mechanobiology, particularly as it relates to
tissue engineering and heart valve disease.
