Computational Biomechanics of Human Joints

Computational Biomechanics of Human Joints by Abdelwahed Barkaoui, Moustafa Mesbah, and Fatima Zahra Mekrane is an authoritative, practical guide that brings modern computational methods to the study of joint mechanics. Combining rigorous theory with real-world applications, this book captures the complexity of cartilage, ligaments, bone contact, and fluid–structure interactions in a way that is accessible to both newcomers and experienced researchers.

Begin exploring how finite element modeling, multiscale approaches, and patient-specific simulations reveal mechanisms of injury, degeneration, and repair. The authors walk readers through material modeling, boundary conditions, validation strategies, and dynamic loading scenarios, illustrating best practices for modeling the knee, hip, shoulder, and spine. Case studies and validated examples demonstrate how computational biomechanics informs surgical planning, implant design, rehabilitation strategies, and sports-injury prevention.

Engineered for professionals and students alike, this volume is ideal for biomedical engineers, orthopedic researchers, clinicians, and graduate programs seeking a comprehensive, up-to-date resource. Whether you’re developing prognostic tools in a hospital, building models in an academic lab, or designing implants in industry, the book equips you with the conceptual framework and practical insights to advance patient-specific care.

Packed with clear explanations, high-quality figures, and applied examples, Computational Biomechanics of Human Joints is a must-have reference for anyone working at the intersection of engineering and musculoskeletal health.
