Biomechanics Review Articles

Biomechanics of human tissues has been an expanding research field since the publication in 1981 of the book entitled Biomechanics: Mechanical Properties of Living Tissues by Yuan-Cheng Fung. Since that date, many groups in the world have proposed biomechanical models of soft organs and hard tissues to study their physiology and complex mechanical behavior in the framework of nonlinear continuum mechanics, as reflected in e.g. [OGD 84, COW 00, TAB 04, HOL 00, HOL 06, GAS 06] and in the more recent monographs devoted to the physiology and mechanical response of all soft tissues of the human body [OHA 17] and references therein. The vivid research activity in Biomechanics is further reflected by the regular international conferences and courses organized on the topic.The main motivation of this book is to present a comprehensive and selfcontained perspective of Biomechanics from the standpoint of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics, by including the necessary information from physiology and biology. This book is intended to expose both the tools needed for an extension of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics to handle living tissues and to answer part of the aforementioned challenges.It is hoped that students and researchers in both mechanical sciences and in other disciplines involved in Biomechanics will find an interest in a detailed exposition of the concepts and methods of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics
