Computational Modelling of Biomechanics and Biotribology in the Musculoskeletal System: Biomaterials and Tissues, Second Edition reviews how a wide range of materials are modeled and applied. Chapters cover basic concepts for modeling of biomechanics and biotribology, the fundamentals of computational modeling of biomechanics in the musculoskeletal system, finite element modeling in the musculoskeletal system, computational modeling from a cells and tissues perspective, and computational modeling of the biomechanics and biotribology interactions, looking at complex joint structures.
This book is a comprehensive resource for professionals in the biomedical market, materials scientists and biomechanical engineers, and academics in related fields. Biomechanics uses physics and engineering concepts to describe the motion undergone by the various body segments and forces acting on these body parts during normal activities. The interrelationship of force and motion is important and must be understood if rational treatment programs are to be applied to musculoskeletal disorders.
Deleterious effects may be produced if the forces acting on the areas with disorders rise to high levels during exercise or other activities of daily living. The purpose of this text is to acquaint the readers with the force-motion relationship within the musculoskeletal system and the various techniques used to understand these relationships.
The fourth edition of Basic Biomechanics of the Musculoskeletal System is intended for use as a textbook either in conjunction with an introductory biomechanics course or for independent study. The fourth edition has been updated to reflect changes in knowledge, but it is still a book that is designed for use by students who are interested in and want to learn about biomechanics.
It is primarily written for students who do not have an engineering background but who want to understand the most basic concepts in biomechanics and physics and how these apply to the human body. Input from students has greatly improved this edition. We have used the book for 20 years in the Program of Ergonomics and Biomechanics at New York University, and it is the students and residents who have suggested the changes and who have continuously showed an interest in developing and improving this book.
This edition has been further strengthened by the contribution of the students over the past year. We formed focus groups to understand better what the students wanted and applied their suggestions wherever possible.
We retained the selected examples to illustrate the concepts needed for basic knowledge of the musculoskeletal biomechanics; we also have kept the important engineering concepts throughout the volume. The three chapters on applied biomechanics topics have been updated. Patient case studies and calculation boxes have been added to each chapter. Flowcharts appear throughout the book as teaching tools.
The text will serve as a guide to a deeper understanding of musculoskeletal biomechanics gained through further reading and independent research. The information presented should also guide the reader in assessing the literature on biomechanics. We have attempted to provide therapeutic examples but it was not our purpose to cover this area; instead, we have described the underlying basis for rational therapeutic or exercise programs.
