This textbook describes the biomechanics of bone, cartilage,
tendons and ligaments. It is rigorous in its approach to the
mechanical properties of the skeleton yet it does not neglect the
biological properties of skeletal tissue or require mathematics
beyond calculus. Time is taken to introduce basic mechanical and
biological concepts, and the approaches used for some of the
engineering analyses are purposefully limited. The book is an
effective bridge between engineering, veterinary, biological and
medical disciplines and will be welcomed by students and
researchers in biomechanics, orthopedics, physical anthropology,
zoology and veterinary science. This book also: Maximizes reader
insights into the mechanical properties of bone, fatigue and
fracture resistance of bone and mechanical adaptability of the
skeleton Illustrates synovial joint mechanics and mechanical
properties of ligaments and tendons in an easy-to-understand way
Provides exercises at the end of each chapter
