This book is an introduction to the mechanical properties, the
force generating capacity, and the sensitivity to mechanical cues
of the biological system. To understand how these qualities govern
many essential biological processes, we also discuss how to measure
them. However, before delving into the details and the techniques,
we will first learn the operational definitions in mechanics, such
as force, stress, elasticity, viscosity and so on. This book will
explore the mechanics at three different length scales - molecular,
cellular, and tissue levels - sequentially, and discuss the
measurement techniques to quantify the intrinsic mechanical
properties, force generating capacity, mechanoresponsive processes
in the biological systems, and rupture forces.
