Biomechanics - Concepts and Computation

Klappentext This quantitative approach integrates the basic concepts of mechanics and computational modelling techniques for undergraduate biomedical engineering students. Zusammenfassung This quantitative approach integrates the basic concepts of mechanics and computational modelling techniques! in a logical progression through a wide range of fundamental biomechanics principles. Online MATLAB-based software along with examples and problems using biomedical applications will motivate undergraduate biomedical engineering students to practise and test their skills.
