The Computational Mechanics of Bone Tissue
Belinha, Jorge / Completo, António M. G. / Manzanares-Céspedes, Maria-Cristina This book offers a timely snapshot of computational methods applied to the study of bone tissue. The bone, a living tissue undergoing constant changes, responds to chemical and mechanical stimuli in order to maximize its mechanical performance. Merging perspectives from the biomedical and the engineering science fields, the book offers some insights into the overall behavior of this complex biological tissue. It covers three main areas: biolog...
