Presenting the fundamental concepts that are required for further research in this field, this volume emphasizes biodynamic modeling and human body models. Beginning with a review of gross human anatomy and a summary of basic terminology, it describes various methods of analysis, including elementary mathematics, elementary mechanics, and the mechanics of materials. Later chapters discuss the modeling of biosystems, tissue biomechanics, biodynamics, kinematics, kinetics, and the inertial properties of human body models. The book concludes with a review of sample applications of biodynamic models in activities such as lifting, maneuvering in space, walking, and swimming.

Explains and summarizes the fundamental derivations, basic and advanced concepts, and equations central to the field of dynamics. This book utilizes Kane's equations and associated methods for the study of large and complex multibody systems. It details kinematic equations for rigid bodies, including angular velocity and acceleration expressions.
