Principles of biomechanics / Ronald L. Huston.

By: Huston, Ronald L, 1937-Material type: TextTextSeries: Mechanical engineering (Taylor & Francis): 213.Publisher: Boca Raton : CRC Press, c2009Description: xxi, 430 p. : ill. ; 25 cmISBN: 9780849334948 (hardcover : alk. paper)Subject(s): Human mechanics | Biomechanics | Biomechanical Phenomena | Models, BiologicalDDC classification: 612.76 LOC classification: QP301 | .H87 2009
Contents:
Introduction -- Review of Human Anatomy and Some Basic Terminology -- Methods of Analysis I: Review of Vectors, Dyadics, Matrices, and Determinants -- Methods of Analysis II: Forces and Force Systems -- Methods of Analysis III: Mechanics of Materials -- Methods of Analysis IV: Modeling of Biosystems -- Tissue Biomechanics -- Kinematical Preliminaries: Fundamental Equations -- Kinematic Preliminaries: Inertia Force Considerations -- Human Body Inertia Properties -- Kinematics of Human Body Models -- Kinetics of Human Body Models -- Dynamics of Human Body Models -- Numerical Methods -- Simulations and Applications -- Anthropometric Data Tables.
Review: "Research and study in biomechanics have grown dramatically in recent years, to the extent that students, researchers, and practitioners in biomechanics now outnumber those working in the underlying discipline of mechanics itself. Filling a void in the current literature on this specialized niche, Principles of Biomechanics provides readers with a solid grasp of the fundamentals and the enabling procedures of this rapidly expanding field, placing a sharp focus on dynamic phenomena in the area of whole-body biomechanics."--BOOK JACKET.
