In the last three or four decades, studies of biomechanics have
expanded from simple topical applications of elementary mechanics
to entire areas of study. Studies and research in biomechanics now
exceed those in basic mechanics itself, underlining the continuing
and increasing importance of this area of study. With an emphasis
on biodynamic modeling, Fundamentals of Biomechanics provides an
accessible, basic understanding of the principles of biomechanics
analyses. Following a brief introductory chapter, the book reviews
gross human anatomy and basic terminology currently in use. It
describes methods of analysis from elementary mathematics to
elementary mechanics and goes on to fundamental concepts of the
mechanics of materials. It then covers the modeling of biosystems
and provides a brief overview of tissue biomechanics. The author
then introduces the concepts of biodynamics and human body
modeling, looking at the fundamentals of the kinematics, the
kinetics, and the inertial properties of human body models. He
supplies a more detailed analysis of kinematics, kinetics, and
dynamics of these models and discusses the numerical procedures for
solving the governing dynamical equations. The book concludes with
a review of a few example applications of biodynamic models such as
simple lifting, maneuvering in space, walking, swimming, and crash
victim simulation. The inclusion of extensive lists of problems of
varying difficulty, references, and an extensive bibliography add
breadth and depth to the coverage. Focusing on biodynamic modeling
to a degree not found in other texts, this book equips readers with
the expertise in biomechanics they need for advanced studies,
research, and employment in biomedical engineering.
