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.

This
note introduce the scientific principles and laws underlying the field of
biomechanics and describes how biomechanical principles can be applied to
understanding and analyzing the causes of human movements and their affects on
the body. Topics covered includes: Statics, Gravity and Forces, Levers and
Moments of Force, Dry Friction, Kinematics, Kinetics, Impulse and Momentum,
Work, Energy and Power, Fluid Mechanics, Gait Analysis.
This lecture note develops and applies scaling laws
and the methods of continuum and statistical mechanics to biomechanical
phenomena over a range of length scales, from molecular to cellular to tissue or
organ level.
