Description for Solid Biomechanics
Hardback. Reviews the mechanical design of organisms. With a physical approach and a minimum of mathematics, this book introduces readers to the world of structural mechanics and sheds light on an array of mechanical adaptations that link creatures as dissimilar as bacteria, plants, and animals. Num Pages: 264 pages, 142 line illus. 3 tables. BIC Classification: PHVN; PS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 256 x 184 x 21. Weight in Grams: 720.
Solid Biomechanics is the first book to comprehensively review the mechanical design of organisms. With a physical approach and a minimum of mathematics, the textbook introduces readers to the world of structural mechanics and sheds light on the dazzling array of mechanical adaptations that link creatures as dissimilar as bacteria, plants, and animals. Exploring a wide range of subjects in depth, from spider silks and sharkskin to climbing plants and human food processing, this immensely accessible text demonstrates that the bodies of animals and plants are masterpieces of engineering, enabling them to survive in a hostile world. The textbook describes ... Read more

Reviews for Solid Biomechanics
"Solid Biomechanics is an interesting overview of the biomechanics of a number of different systems ranging from human tissues to mollusks to plants. Ennos uses only a minimal amount of mathematics to describe the physics of these systems, which makes the book more accessible to an average reader... A useful work that will help stimulate interest in the subject of ... Read more
