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)
