The structures of living tissues are continually changing due to
growth and response to the tissue environment, including the
mechanical environment. Tissue Mechanics is an in-depth look at the
mechanics of tissues. Tissue Mechanics describes the nature of the
composite components of a tissue, the cellular processes that
produce these constituents, the assembly of the constituents into a
hierarchical structure, and the behavior of the tissue's composite
structure in the adaptation to its mechanical environment.
Organized as a textbook for the student needing to acquire the core
competencies, Tissue Mechanics will meet the demands of advanced
undergraduate or graduate coursework in Biomedical Engineering, as
well as, Chemical, Civil, and Mechanical Engineering. Key features:
Detailed Illustrations Example problems, including problems at the
end of sections A separate solutions manual available for course
instructors A website (http://tissue-mechanics.com/) that has been
established to provide supplemental material for the book,
including downloadable additional chapters on specific tissues,
downloadable PowerPoint presentations of all the book's chapters,
and additional exercises and examples for the existing chapters.
