Tissue Mechanics de Stephen C. Cowin

Tissue Mechanics

Autor Stephen C. Cowin, Stephen B. Doty
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 oct 2006
The structures of living tissues are continually changing due to growth and response to the tissue environment, including the mechanical environment. Tissue Mechanics is an in-depth look at the mechanics of tissues. Tissue Mechanics describes the nature of the composite components of a tissue, the cellular processes that produce these constituents, the assembly of the constituents into a hierarchical structure, and the behavior of the tissue’s composite structure in the adaptation to its mechanical environment.
Organized as a textbook for the student needing to acquire the core competencies, Tissue Mechanics will meet the demands of advanced undergraduate or graduate coursework in Biomedical Engineering, as well as, Chemical, Civil, and Mechanical Engineering.
 Key features:
  • Detailed Illustrations
  • Example problems, including problems at the end of sections
  • A separate solutions manual available for course instructors
  • A website (http://tissue-mechanics.com/) that has been established to provide supplemental material for the book, including downloadable additional chapters on specific tissues, downloadable PowerPoint presentations of all the book's chapters, and additional exercises and examples for the existing chapters.

Descriere

I was delighted when I learned in the fall of 2005 that Steve Cowin was working on a textbook in biomechanics. Steve and I were in the same department at Tulane University in the 1970s, and under his influence I learned the beauty and power of continuum mechanics as a means to better understand the musculoskeletal system. When I began teaching courses in biomechanics during that decade, it was natural to teach the material from a continuum mechanics persp- tive. Over the years I have used a variety of continuum mechanics texts, but, for the most part, I have had to find the biomedical examples I used directly from the research literature. I have now had a chance to review a draft of Tissue Mechanics by Cowin and Doty, and it exceeds my high expectations. The material includes a rigorous and comprehensive introd- tion to continuum mechanics oriented toward biomechanics. Indeed, all of the foundation t- ics for continuum models of biological materials are covered. This material is illustrated through applications to the hard and soft tissues of the human body. Steve Cowin is now one of the leading researchers in the mechanics of bone, so one would expect the chapters on bone tissue and bone tissue adaptation to be of a very high order. But the presentation on collagen and cartilage mechanics is also excellent. Their presentation of finite deformation mechanics and its application to tendons and ligaments is one of the most accessible in the literature.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
"This is one of the few pioneering treatises on continuum biomechanics, which is a rapidly advancing field during the last two decades. Two well-known experts currently active in bone mechanics and bone surgery wrote the treatise. … the authors performed a valuable service to biomechanics community by the timely treatise, which is rigorously written and easy to read, and will be interest to graduate students and researchers, and certainly stimulate further research in the area of tissue mechanics." (M. Cengiz Dökmeci, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1117 (19), 2007)
"The authors provide one of the most comprehensive treatments of the continuum biosolid mechanics of biological tissues available. … The book comprises enough material for a more advanced undergraduate course and a graduate course. … Tissue mechanics by Cowin and Doty is a valuable and highly recommended reference for any serious student of tissue biomechanics." (Andrew D. McCulloch, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2008 d)

Tissue Mechanics
Stephen C. Cowin and Stephen B. Doty
Tissue Mechanics, Second Edition is about the mechanics of tissues for use at the advanced undergraduate level or above. Tissues transmit mechanical loads just like bridges and building structures. Not only do they transmit loads, but also they adapt their own structures so that the structures will transmit the mechanical loads more effectively, unlike bridges and building structures. The structures of living tissues are continually changing due to growth and response to the tissue environment, including the mechanical environment. The objective of this text is to describe the nature of the composite components of a tissue, the cellular processes that produce these constituents, the assembly of the constituents into a hierarchical structure, and the behavior of the tissue’s composite structure in the adaptation to its mechanical environment. A tissue’s mechanical environment is the history of mechanical loading experienced by the tissue in some reference time period, like a day.
The most important features of the textbook are its middle level, neither too advanced nor too elementary, its fresh perspective on older material issues, and the inclusion of new research results carefully crafted onto this intermediate base of mechanics.
Key Features:
An introductory chapter on the structure of tissues and the fascinating unresolved problems concerning how biological tissues are formed and constructed.
Example problems to provide the student with hands-on experience with concepts
Extensive appendices and tutorial materials on new developments including expanded treatment of ceramic materials and implants
Detailed references for further reading
As in TM, 1E a website (http://tissue-mechanics.com/) that has been established to provide supplemental material for the book. On this website is posted downloadable additional chapters on specific tissues, downloadable PowerPoint presentations of all the book's chapters, corrections to the published volume and additional exercises and examples for the existing chapters.
