Mechanobiology―the study of the effects of mechanics on biological events―has evolved to answer numerous research questions. Mechanobiology Handbook 2nd Edition
is a reference book for engineers, scientists, and clinicians who are
interested in mechanobiology and a textbook for senior undergraduate to
graduate level students of this growing field. Readers will gain a
comprehensive review of recent research findings as well as elementary
chapters on solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and molecular analysis
techniques. The new edition presents, in addition to the chapters of the
first edition, homework problem sets that are available online and
reviews of research in uncovered areas. Moreover, the new edition
includes chapters on statistical analysis, design of experiments and
optical imaging.
The editors of this book are researchers
and educators in mechanobiology. They realized a need for a single
volume to assist course instructors as a guide for didactic teaching of
mechanobiology to a diverse student body. A mechanobiology course is
frequently made up of both undergraduate and graduate students pursuing
degrees in engineering, biology, or integrated engineering and biology.
Their goal was to present both the elementary and cutting-edge aspects
of mechanobiology in a manner that is accessible to students from many
different academic levels and from various disciplinary backgrounds.
Moreover, it is their hope that the readers of Mechanobiology Handbook 2nd Edition will find study questions at the end of each chapter useful for long-term learning and further discussion.
- Comprehensive collection of reviews of recent research
- Introductory materials in mechanics, biology, and statistics
- Discussion of pioneering and emerging mechanobiology concepts
- Presentation of cutting-edge mechanobiology research findings across various fields and organ systems
- End of chapter study questions, available online
Considering
the complexity of the mechanics and the biology of the human body, most
of the world of mechanobiology remains to be studied. Since the field
is still developing, the Mechanobiology Handbook raises many different viewpoints and approaches with the intention of stimulating further research endeavours.
