Download or read book Nonlinear Theory Of Elasticity: Applications In Biomechanics written by Larry A Taber and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2004-02-19 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soft biological tissues often undergo large (nearly) elastic deformations that can be analyzed using the nonlinear theory of elasticity. Because of the varied approaches to nonlinear elasticity in the literature, some aspects of the subject may be difficult to appreciate. This book attempts to clarify and unify those treatments, illustrating the advantages and disadvantages of each through various examples in the mechanics of soft tissues. Applications include muscle, arteries, the heart, and embryonic tissues.
