Multiscale Simulations and Mechanics of Biological
Materials
A compilation of recent developments in multiscale
simulation and computational biomaterials written by leading
specialists in the field
Presenting the latest developments in multiscale mechanics and
multiscale simulations, and offering a unique viewpoint on
multiscale modelling of biological materials, this book outlines
the latest developments in computational biological materials from
atomistic and molecular scale simulation on DNA, proteins, and
nano-particles, to meoscale soft matter modelling of cells, and to
macroscale soft tissue and blood vessel, and bone simulations.
Traditionally, computational biomaterials researchers come from
biological chemistry and biomedical engineering, so this is
probably the first edited book to present work from these talented
computational mechanics researchers.
The book has been written to honor Professor Wing Liu of
Northwestern University, USA, who has made pioneering contributions
in multiscale simulation and computational biomaterial in specific
simulation of drag delivery at atomistic and molecular scale and
computational cardiovascular fluid mechanics via immersed finite
element method.
Key features:
* Offers a unique interdisciplinary approach to multiscale
biomaterial modelling aimed at both accessible introductory and
advanced levels
* Presents a breadth of computational approaches for modelling
biological materials across multiple length scales (molecular to
whole-tissue scale), including solid and fluid based
approaches
* A companion website for supplementary materials plus links to
contributors’ websites (www.wiley.com/go/li/multiscale)
