This book draws on material from the biomechanics section of The Biomedical Engineering Handbook, Fourth Edition, and includes additional chapters containing highly relevant, cutting-edge material dealing with cellular mechanics. Edited by Donald R. Peterson and Joseph D. Bronzino, it brings together contributions by world-class experts in the field. Offering an overview of major research topics in biomechanics, this is a useful resource for practitioners, scientists, and researchers in biomechanics, as well as biomedical engineering graduate students studying biomechanics, biodynamics, human performance engineering, and human factors.
