Research and study in biomechanics has grown dramatically in recent
years, to the extent that students, researchers, and practitioners
in biomechanics now outnumber those working in the underlying
discipline of mechanics itself. Filling a void in the current
literature on this specialized niche, Principles of Biomechanics
provides readers with a solid grasp of the fundamentals and the
enabling procedures of this rapidly expanding field, placing a
sharp focus on dynamic phenomena in the area of whole-body
biomechanics. Applies Biodynamic Models to Everyday Activities
Emphasizing biodynamic modeling and the analysis of human body
models, the book begins 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 fundamental concepts of 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, as well as crash
victim simulation. Uses simple language to convey complex
principles With numerous professionals in a range of areas entering
this field daily, there is a pressing need for a book which
captures for a wide audience the principles of biomechanics
analysis. Readily accessible to those with only a basic background
in engineering fundamentals, mathematics, and physics, this text
enables readers to understand virtually all areas of human body
dynamics ranging from simple movements to optimal motions to
accident victim dynamics.
