SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING ...

This book is concerned with the study of continuum mechanics applied to biological systems 
i.e.  continuum biomechanics. This vast and exciting subject allows description of when a bone
may fracture due to excessive loading  how blood behaves as both a solid and fluid  down to how
cells respond to mechanical forces that lead to changes in their behavior  a process known as
mechanotransduction. We have written for senior undergraduate students and first year graduate
students in mechanical or biomedical engineering  but individuals working at biotechnology
companies that deal in biomaterials or biomechanics should also find the information presented
relevant and easily accessible. Table of Contents: Tensor Calculus   Kinematics of a Continuum
Stress   Elasticity   Fluids   Blood and Circulation   Viscoelasticity   Poroelasticity and
Thermoelasticity   Biphasic Theory
