Mechanical Testing of Bone and the Bone-Implant Interface helps you as sess these properties by explaining how to do mechanical testing of bo ne and the bone-implant interface for bone-related research. Articles explore the basic mechanical principles of bone-related study and how to conduct mechanical testing of bone specimens. More practical than theoretical, the text includes 42 chapters in three sections that cove r mechanical properties of bone, general considerations of mechanical testing, basic facilities and instruments for mechanical testing; mech anical testing procedures on bone tissues; and mechanical testing proc edures on the implant-bone interface. There are approximately three hu ndred illustrations, including line drawings, diagrams, tables, and ph otographs. Mechanical Testing of Bone and the Bone-Implant Interface is the most concise, straightforward, and in-depth treatment ever to b e published - long needed by the orthopedic and bone research communit ies.
