Computational Modelling of Biomechanics and Biotribology in the
Musculoskeletal System. Woodhead Publishing Series in Biomaterials
Description:
Computational Modelling of Biomechanics and Biotribology in the Musculoskeletal System reviews how a
wide range of materials are modelled and how this modelling is applied. Computational modelling is
increasingly important in the design and manufacture of biomedical materials, as it makes it possible to
predict certain implant-tissue reactions, degradation, and wear, and allows more accurate tailoring of
materials' properties for the in vivo environment.
Part I introduces generic modelling of biomechanics and biotribology with a chapter on the fundamentals of
computational modelling of biomechanics in the musculoskeletal system, and a further chapter on finite
element modelling in the musculoskeletal system. Chapters in Part II focus on computational modelling of
musculoskeletal cells and tissues, including cell mechanics, soft tissues and ligaments, muscle biomechanics,
articular cartilage, bone and bone remodelling, and fracture processes in bones. Part III highlights
computational modelling of orthopedic biomaterials and interfaces, including fatigue of bone cement,
fracture processes in orthopedic implants, and cementless cup fixation in total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Finally, chapters in Part IV discuss applications of computational modelling for joint replacements and tissue
scaffolds, specifically hip implants, knee implants, and spinal implants; and computer aided design and finite
element modelling of bone tissue scaffolds.
This book is a comprehensive resource for professionals in the biomedical market, materials scientists and
mechanical engineers, and those in academia.
- Covers generic modelling of cells and tissues; modelling of biomaterials and interfaces; biomechanics and
biotribology
- Discusses applications of modelling for joint replacements and applications of computational modelling in
tissue engineering
