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.

Introduction to the Biomechanics of Human Movement
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.

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.
