Book Description

March 15, 2001 0849391172 978-0849391170 2

This Second Edition of the Bone Mechanics Handbook summarizes the current understanding of bone mechanics with comprehensive coverage of the histology, physiology, and cell and molecular biology of the bone. It is updated with the most recent advances on mechanical properties of bone, most notably of cancellous bone, and the streaming potentials in bone, which reflect the importance of fluid movement in bone tissue.

This review is from: Bone Mechanics Handbook, Second Edition (Hardcover)
Our laboratory used this book as reference for some bio-medical engineering work. It was a great reference for bone structures and related materials information.
