Stress, strain, and constitutive relations --Part II. Biosolid Mechanics: 3. Equilibrium, universal solutions, and inflation; 4. Extension and torsion; 5. Beam bending and column buckling; 6. Some nonlinear problems; 7. Stress, motion, and constitutive relations --Part III. Biofluid mechanics: 8. Fundamental balance relations; 9. Some exact solutions; 10.

his book covers the fundamentals of biomechanics. Topics include bio solids, biofluids, stress, balance and equilibrium. Students are encouraged to contextualize principles and exercises within a "big picture" of biomechanics. This is an ideal book for undergraduate students with interests in biomedical engineering.
