The complexity of human uterine function and regulation is one
of the great wonders of nature and represents a daunting challenge
to unravel. This book is dedicated to the biomechanical modeling of
the gravid human uterus and gives an example of the application of
the mechanics of solids and the theory of soft shells to explore
medical problems of labor and delivery. After a brief overview of
the anatomy, physiology and biomechanics of the uterus, the authors
focus mainly on electromechanical wave processes, their origin,
dynamics, and neuroendocrine and pharmacological modulations. In
the last chapter applications, pitfalls and problems related to
modeling and computer simulations of the pregnant uterus and pelvic
floor structures are discussed. A collection of exercises is added
at the end of each chapter to help readers with
self-evaluation.
The book serves as an invaluable source of information for
researchers, instructors and advanced undergraduate and graduate
students interested in systems biology, applied mathematics and
biomedical engineering.
