Biomechanics

Biomechanics: Concepts and Computation, 2nd Edition, is a textbook that integrates core and advanced principles of mechanics with numerical computation and biomedical applications. Published as part of the Cambridge Texts in Biomedical Engineering series, the volume connects physical theory with biological systems.

Coverage begins with vector and tensor calculus, force concepts, and static equilibrium before addressing the mechanical and time-dependent behavior of fibers. The text also examines biological materials through continuum mechanics, discussing stress in three-dimensional media alongside local balance equations.

Used in undergraduate and graduate courses, the textbook offers instructional resources for course use. Lecturers who adopt the text receive access to protected supplementary exercises and worked solutions.
