Basic Finite Element Method as Applied to Injury Biomechanics

Basic Finite Element Method as Applied to Injury Biomechanics by King-Hay Yang is a comprehensive reference book for individuals interested in learning about finite element methods. It provides a unique introduction by teaching readers how to develop a finite element model from the very beginning, covering all the appropriate theories that are needed throughout the model development process. The book is an ideal text for teaching, further reading, and its unique application to injury biomechanics.

One of the book’s strengths is its hands-on approach to teach readers how to develop a finite element model. The author explains how to apply material properties and loading conditions to the model, how to arrange the information in the order of the head, neck, upper torso, upper extremity, lower torso, pelvis, and lower extremity. The book also covers scaling from one body size to the other, parametric modeling, and joint positioning.

With over 25 years of experience developing finite element models, the author’s experience with tissue level injury threshold instead of external loading conditions provides a guide to the “do’s and dont’s” of using the finite element method to study injury biomechanics.

One of the most interesting topics covered in the book is different modeling schemes used to model different parts of the body, including related constitutive laws and associated material properties, making it a complete reference book for anyone interested and engaged in the biomechanics field.

The author’s experience is one of the book’s unique features, offering readers a practical understanding of how to interpret simulation data, including translations, rotations, and head-neck response. This provides readers with the ability to achieve more accurate biomechanical simulation when studying injury mechanisms due to external stressors such as impacts or other related injury stimuli.

The book also covers the fundamentals and applications of the finite element method in injury biomechanics, and the use of modal response to solve complex structural problems. It also highlights the use of different software packages in analyzing the results of biomechanical simulations.

The eBook Digital format of the book provides readers with access to 748 pages of rich material, covering various topics in a comprehensive manner. The publisher of the book is Academic Press, and the first edition was published on October 4, 2017. The language used in the book is English, and the product dimensions are 9.3 x 1.6 x 7.6 inches.
