Biomechanics: Concepts and Computation
Cees Oomens, Marcel Brekelmans, Sandra Loerakker, Frank Baaijens
Thoroughly revised and updated for the second edition, this comprehensive textbook
integrates basic and advanced concepts of mechanics with numerical methods and
biomedical applications. Coverage is expanded to include a complete introduction to
vector and tensor calculus, and new or fully updated chapters on biological materials and
continuum mechanics, motion, deformation and rotation, and the constitutive modelling
of solids and fluids. Topics such as kinematics, equilibrium, and stresses and strains are
also included, as well as the mechanical behaviour of fibres and the analysis of
one-dimensional continuous elastic media. Numerical solution procedures based on the
finite element method are presented, with accompanying MATLAB-based software and
dozens of new biomedical engineering examples and exercises allowing readers to
practise and improve their skills. Solutions for instructors are also available online. This is
the definitive guide for both undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in
biomechanics.
