Human Body Dynamics: Classical Mechanics and Human Movement

by Aydin Tozeren and Aydin Tözeren

Book Overview

Human movement obeys basic laws that govern static and dynamic bodies, and this textbook takes a quantitative approach to studying human biomechanics. The book features numerous homework problems and worked examples, both of which are vital for classroom use. The book will be welcomed by teachers of engineering mechanics, statics and dynamics, and biomechanics courses that assume familiarity with calculus and vectors.

Really Biomechanics and a Good Buy

A very good presentation of the knowledge of engineering mechanics applied to human motion. The first chapter provides a necessary and sufficient outline of the human system and the related studies. After that, basic engineering mechanics theories are discussed with elaborations and examples zeroing on human body motions. A candidate for a textbook for undergraduate course in biomechanics, and a book to be owned by engineering mechanics instructors.
