Download or read book Continuum Modeling in Mechanobiology written by Larry A. Taber and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines key theoretical tools that are currently used to develop mathematical models as an aid in understanding the biological response of cells and tissues to mechanical stimuli. Problems in growth and remodeling, tissue and organ development, and functional adaptation are all covered. Chapters on tensor analysis and nonlinear elasticity provide the necessary background for understanding the engineering theories that are currently used to solve challenges in mechanobiology. This is an ideal book for biomechanical engineers who work on problems in mechanobiology and tissue engineering.
