Springer19931 online resource (xviii, 568 p.) illIncludes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.1 Introduction: A Sketch of the History and Scope of the Field -- 2 The Meaning of the Constitutive Equation -- 3 The Flow Properties of Blood -- 4 Mechanics of Erythrocytes, Leukocytes, and Other Cells -- 5 Interaction of Red Cells with Vessel Wall, and Wall Shear with Endothelium -- 6 Bioviscoelastic Fluids -- 7 Bioviscoelastic Solids -- 8 Mechanical Properties and Active Remodeling of Blood Vessels -- 9 Skeletal Muscle -- 10 Heart Muscle -- 11 Smooth Muscles -- 12 Bone and Cartilage -- Author Index.The objective of this book remains the same as that stated in the first edition: to present a comprehensive perspective of biomechanics from the stand point of bioengineering, physiology, and medical science, and to develop mechanics through a sequence of problems and examples. My three-volume set of Bio­ mechanics has been completed. They are entitled: Biomechanics: Mechanical Properties of Living Tissues; Biodynamics: Circulation; and Biomechanics: Motion, Flow, Stress, and Growth; and this is the first volume. The mechanics prerequisite for all three volumes remains at the level of my book A First Course in Continuum Mechanics (3rd edition, Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1993). In the decade of the 1980s the field of Biomechanics expanded tremen­ dously. New advances have been made in all fronts. Those that affect the basic understanding of the mechanical properties of living tissues are described in detail in this revision.
