Editors:
- A single, self-contained resource for topics that are widely scattered across the literature in a variety of journals having mutually nonintersecting communities of readers, such as applied mathematicians, engineers, biologists, and physicians
- Provides readers from diverse backgrounds with basic modeling ideas and tools, which address important problems in the medical and health sciences
- Topics covered include mechanical properties of biological materials, biochemical and biomechanical aspects of blood flow, formation and growth of intracranial aneurysms, and regulation of hemostatic system function
- Models tested in realistic experiments are presented with implementation through numerical and computer simulations, which may lead to potential technological innovations useful in medicine
- May be used in interdisciplinary introductory courses covering various biomechanical topics for graduate students in applied mathematics, engineering, and biomedicine
Part of the book series: Modeling and Simulation in Science, Engineering and Technology (MSSET)
