Solid Biomechanics
by Roland Ennos
Explores the mechanical principles that allow plants and animals to support themselves, resist forces, and move efficiently through their environments.
About This Book
Solid Biomechanics presents the fundamental mechanical concepts underlying the structure and movement of plants and animals.
The book examines how organisms withstand forces, maintain stability, and achieve locomotion through the properties of biological materials.
Key topics include stress, strain, elasticity, and the scaling of structures in relation to body size.
Examples drawn from both plant and animal systems illustrate how physical laws shape biological form and function.
The text is designed for students and researchers seeking a concise overview of biomechanics grounded in solid mechanics.
