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.
About the Authors:
Stephen C. Cowin is a City University of New York Distinguished
Professor, Departments of Biomedical and Mechanical Engineering,
City College of the City University of New York and also an Adjunct
Professor of Orthopaedics, at the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in
New York, New York. In 1985 he received the Society of Tulane
Engineers and Lee H. Johnson Award for Teaching Excellence and a
recipient of the European Society of Biomechanics Research Award in
1994. In 1999 he received the H. R. Lissner medal of the ASME for
contributions to biomedical engineering. In 2004 he was elected to
the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) and he also received the

(ASCE).
Stephen B. Doty is a Senior Scientist at Hospital for Special
Surgery, New York, New York and Adjunct Professor, School of Dental
and Oral Surgery, Columbia University, New York, NY. He has over
100 publications in the field of anatomy, developmental biology,
and the physiology of skeletal and connective tissues. His honors
include several commendations for participation in the Russian/NASA
spaceflights, the Spacelab Life Science NASA spaceflights, and
numerous Shuttle missions that studied the influence of spaceflight
on skeletal physiology. He presently is on the scientific advisory
board of the National Space Biomedical Research Institute, Houston,
Texas."
