Design of Artificial Human Joints & Organs
Design of Artificial Human Joints & Organs is intended
to present the basics of the normal systems and how, due to aging,
diseases or trauma, body parts may need to be replaced with manmade
materials. The movement of the body generates forces in various
work situations and also internally at various joints, muscles and
ligaments. It is essential to figure out the forces, moments,
pressure etc to design replacements that manage these stresses
without breaking down. The mechanical characterization of the hard
and the soft tissues are presented systematically using the
principles of solid mechanics. The viscoelastic properties of the
tissue will also discussed. This text covers the design
science and methodology from concept to blueprint to the
final component being replaced. Each chapter will be a brief
overview of various joint/organ replacement systems.

Engineers working on artificial joints and organs, as well as
students of Mechanical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering are
the main intended audience, however, the pedagogy is simple
enough for those who are learning the subject for the first time.
