This well-established book on injury biomechanics has been extensively revised and expanded for this new edition. It now includes a fundamental treatment of the mechanics at a cellular level, written by the new coauthor Prof. Barclay Morrison III from Columbia University. Furthermore, considerably more attention is paid to computer modeling, and in particular modeling the human body.
The book addresses a wide range of topics in injury biomechanics, including anatomy, injury classification, injury mechanisms, and injury criteria. Further, it provides essential information on regional injury reference values, or injury criteria, that are either currently in use or proposed by both US and European communities. Although the book is intended as an introduction for doctors and engineers who are newcomers to the field of injury biomechanics, sufficient references are provided for those who wish to conduct further research, and even established researchers will find it useful as a reference guide to the biomechanical background of each proposed injury mechanism and injury criterion.
Kai-Uwe Schmitt, Ph.D. M.Eng. M.Sc. ICID, lectures on "trauma biomechanics" and "biomechanics of sports injuries" at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zürich). He is also a Professor heading the Academic-Practice-Partnership between University of Applied Sciences and the University Hospital Berne, Switzerland.
Peter F. Niederer is a Professor Emeritus for Biomedical Engineering, ETH Zurich. His main interests include biomechanics, the heart and circulatory system, and medical optics.
Dr. Duane Cronin is a Professor in Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Waterloo and Canada Research Chair in Trauma Biomechanics and Injury Prevention. His research interests include blast and ballistic injury mitigation, computational human body models to predict crash induced injuries, and high deformation-rate material characterization.
Dr. Barclay Morrison is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at ColumbiaUniversity striving to reduce the societal costs of traumatic brain by understanding the initiating biomechanics and its ensuing pathobiology.
Markus Muser, Ph.D. is a co-founder and current director of the AGU Zurich. Having worked in the area of trauma biomechanics since 1993, his main interests are in WAD, safety of vulnerable road users, and safety of low-mass vehicles.
Felix H. Walz, M.D. is a former Professor of Forensic Biomechanics at the University of Zurich. He is a co-founder and former director of the Working Group on Accident Mechanics in Zurich (AGU).
Dateiformat: PDFKopierschutz: Wasserzeichen-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
