NONLINEAR THEORY OF ELASTICITY: APPLICATIONS IN BIOMECHANICS (REVISED EDITION)

This volume clarifies and unifies varied approaches to nonlinear elasticity of soft biological tissues, illustrating the advantages and disadvantages of each through various examples in biomechanics. Applications include muscle, arteries, the heart, and embryonic tissues. The revised edition, which includes many new exercises and detailed solutions, can be used for advanced courses in biomechanics and elasticity.
