Beschreibung

Soft biological tissues often undergo large (nearly) elastic deformations that can be modeled using the nonlinear theory of elasticity. Because of the varied approaches to nonlinear elasticity in the literature, some aspects of the subject may be difficult to appreciate.This volume clarifies and unifies those treatments, illustrating the advantages and disadvantages of each through various examples in biomechanics. Applications include muscle, arteries, the heart, and embryonic tissues.The revised edition includes new end-of-chapter problems, including answers and detailed solutions to most. The useful reference can be a good textbook for self-study, as well as senior- and graduate-level courses in biomechanics and nonlinear elasticity.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Larry Taber is a senior professor of Biomedical Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. From 2007 until his retirement in 2017, he was the Dennis and Barbara Kessler Professor of Biomedical Engineering. Although his formal training is in aerospace engineering (BAE, Georgia Tech; PhD, Stanford University), he has published on a wide range of topics including cochlear mechanics, nonlinear shell theory, cardiovascular mechanics, and the mechanics of growth and development. Dr Taber is a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering. Three times he won the Richard Skalak Award for the best paper published in the Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, and in 2020 was awarded the H R LIssner Medal from ASME. From 2011–2016, he served as co-editor-in-chief of the journal Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology.
