Klappentext A modern quantitative study of lung mechanics, relating mathematical modeling and engineering principles to lung function, structure, mechanics, and disease. Zusammenfassung The first book to describe lung mechanics from a quantitative standpoint. Focusing on inverse modeling! it develops in a logical progression from simple to state-of-the-art dynamic and nonlinear models. Example applications to experimental data are presented throughout the book! together with problem sets at the end of each chapter. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; Notation; 1. Introduction; 2.
