This course develops and applies scaling laws and
the methods of continuum mechanics to biomechanical phenomena over a range of
length scales. This lecture note explains the following topics: structure of
tissues and the molecular basis for macroscopic properties, chemical and
electrical effects on mechanical behavior, cell mechanics, motility and
adhesion, biomembranes, biomolecular mechanics and molecular motors.
Experimental methods for probing structures at the tissue, cellular, and
molecular levels will also be investigated.

Biomechanics is
the study of the structure, function and motion of the mechanical aspects of
biological systems, at any level from whole organisms to organs, cells and cell
organelles, using the methods of mechanics. This PDF covers the following topics
related to Biomechanics : Fluid Mechanics, Human Locomotion, Hard
and Soft Tissue Mechanics, Kinesiology of Sports.

This is a landmark
book because it shows the usefulness and importance of mechanics in the analysis
and understanding of animal behavior. As such it should be of interest and use
to individuals working in biomechanics as well as to the vertebrate zoologist
and comparative anatomist.
This
is a comprehensive, state-of-the-science resource concerning the principles and
applications of biomechanics at every level. The book is organized in a
systematic manner, the book begins with coverage of musculoskeletal mechanics
including hard- and soft tissue and joint mechanics and their applications to
human function.
