This book provides comprehensive mechanobiological insights into
bone, including the microstructure of cancellous bone and its
realistic loading in the human body. This approach considers
different types of loads, i.e. static and dynamic, and the response
under uniaxial and multiaxial loading conditions. The book also
reviews additional factors influencing biomechanical properties,
e.g. fluid transport. In closing, the mechanobiological approach is
discussed in the context of the finite element method.
This book investigates the factors that lead to slip and fall
incidents and establishes a relationship between the coefficient of
friction (COF), floor slipperiness and floor roughness. It also
examines human perception of slipperiness through measured
coefficient of friction (COF). On the basis of questionnaire
surveys among manufacturing workers, it identifies potential risk
factors and assesses human perceptions of slipperiness. It also
uses a tribology approach to relate the interaction between
contaminants, floor and footwear materials.

This work identifies the characteristics of racket design
parameters that influence racket performance. It presents the
finite element analysis of several designs of badminton rackets and
compares them to experimental results for validation. Designing a
racket requires a comprehensive understanding of racket performance
characteristics. Essentially, racket performance is related to the
sweet spot, which is the spot on the racket head that produces the
most power and control when it strikes a shuttlecock. Determining a
coefficient of restitution can help to identify the sweet spot on a
racket. By analyzing several head shape designs, it becomes
apparent that isometric head shape rackets produce better
coefficients of restitution compared to oval and round ones. It is
recommended that the racket design consist of low string tension,
stiffer racket shafts and bigger head size in order to produce
higher shuttlecock speed.
This book focuses on the analysis and treatment of osteoporotic
bone based on drug administration, tracking fatigue behavior and
taking into consideration the mechanical interaction of implants
with trabecular bone. Weak trabeculae are one of the most important
clinical features that need to be addressed in order to prevent hip
joint fractures.
This book develops and analyses computational wear simulations of
the total ankle replacement for the stance phase of gait cycle. The
emphasis is put on the relevant design parameters. The book
presents a model consisting of three components; tibial, bearing
and talar representing their physiological functions.
