Description

This book�offers�a comprehensive and timely overview of the latest developments�in the field of biomechanics and extensive knowledge of tissue structure,�function, and modeling.�Gathering chapters written by authoritative scientists, it reports on a range of�continuum and computational models of solids, and related experimental works, for biomechanical applications. It discusses cutting-edge advances such as�constitutive modeling and computational�simulation of biological tissues�and organs�under physiological and pathological conditions,�and�their�mechanical characterization. It�covers��innovative studies on�arteries, heart, valvular tissue,�and�thrombus, brain tumor, muscle, liver, kidney, and stomach,�among others.�Written in honor of Professor Gerhard A. Holzapfel,��the book�provides specialized readers with a thorough and timely overview of different types ofmodeling in biomechanics, and current knowledge about biological structures and function.Typham this is the title: Solid (Bio)mechanics: Challenges of the Next Decade A Book Dedicated to Professor Gerhard A.
