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.

The first section of the book, General notes on biomechanics and mechanobiology, comprises from theoretical contributions to Biomechanics often providing hypothesis or rationale for a given phenomenon that experiment or clinical study cannot provide. It deals with mechanical properties of living cells and tissues, mechanobiology of fracture healing or evolution of locomotor trends in extinct terrestrial giants. The second section, Biomechanical modelling, is devoted to the rapidly growing field of biomechanical models and modelling approaches to improve our understanding about processes in human body.

Molecular, Cellular and Tissue Biomechanics
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.
