Description
This book describes the fundamental knowledge of mechanics and its application to biomaterials. An overivew of computer modeling in biomaterials is offered and multiple fields where biomaterials are used are reviewed with particular emphasis to the importance of the mechanical properties of biomaterials. The reader will obtain a better understanding of the current techniqus to synthesize, characterize and integrate biomaterials into the human body.

Reviews
"This is a comprehensive, yet easily understood, book on biomaterial mechanics. Fundamental equations and their corresponding descriptions provide a great background for one to quickly grasp key concepts. Well done, a quality and educational read."
