First published 2025
Sanjay Gupta tackles the intersection of mechanical engineering and human anatomy in this comprehensive examination of how bones, joints, and artificial implants function under physical stress. The book opens with fundamental anatomy and physiology before moving into the mechanical principles that govern skeletal movement. Gupta walks readers through biomechanical analysis of major joints and the spine, then advances to gait analysis and measurement techniques. The text systematically breaks down methods for calculating musculoskeletal forces, including joint dynamics and muscle force estimation. Gupta explores the mechanics of bone tissue and implanted structures, examining common failure patterns in orthopedic devices and the materials used to create them. The book covers finite element modeling for implant-bone analysis, mathematical frameworks for bone remodeling and ingrowth, and mechanobiology models for tissue development. Throughout, solved examples and exercises reinforce key concepts. Gupta presents research findings on tissue ingrowth simulations alongside theoretical foundations, offering readers both practical tools and inspiration for further study in biomechanical engineering.
