Biomechanics aims to explain the mechanics oflife and living. From
molecules to organisms, everything must obey the laws of mechanics.
Clarification of mechanics clarifies many things. Biomechanics
helps us to appreciate life. It sensitizes us to observe nature. It
is a tool for design and invention of devices to improve the
quality of life. It is a useful tool, a simple tool, a valuable
tool, an unavoidable tool. It is a necessary part of biology and
engineering. The method of biomechanics is the method of
engineering, which consists of observation, experimentation,
theorization, validation, and application. To understand any
object, we must know its geometry and materials of construc tion,
the mechanical properties of the materials involved, the governing
natural laws, the mathematical formulation of specific problems and
their solutions, and the results of validation. Once understood,
one goes on to develop applications. In my plan to present an
outline of biomechanics, I followed the engineering approach and
used three volumes. In the first volume, Biomechanics: Mechanical
Properties of Living Tissues, the geometrical struc ture and the
rheological properties of various materials, tissues, and organs
are presented. In the second volume, Biodynamics: Circulation, the
physiology of blood circulation is analyzed by the engineering
method."
