About this title

Synopsis

The study of the mechanical design of living organisms is one of the most rapidly expanding areas of biological research. Greater understanding of the ways in which an animal's body responds to mechanical stress has resulted in significant advances in the fields of zoology, physiology, and biomedical engineering. This volume is the first to provide a compilation of experimental protocols for researchers in these areas. This detailed work evaluates the performance of structures within the musculoskeletal and circulatory systems in the context of their physical activities. Topics covered include: mechanical work in locomotion; aerodynamics of flight; in vivo measurement of bone strain and tendon force; hydrostatic skeletons and muscular hydrostats; and circulatory structure and mechanics. Biomechanics - Structure and Systems: A Practical Approach and its companion Biomechanics - Materials: A Practical Approach together provide a comprehensive resource of proven experimental protocols and expert guidance for researchers in zoology, physiology, biomedical engineering, and related fields.
