Skeletal Tissue Mechanics (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783031906084)

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. 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, biological science, medical science, and veterinary science. This third edition includes a new chapter on the history of skeletal tissue structure and function, updated content across chapters and recent suggested readings.
