Sacks Edits New Book Published by Springer
Springer has published a book co-edited by Professor Michael Sacks titled “Structure-Based Mechanics of Tissues and Organs.”
According to the publisher, the book offers a comprehensive view of tissue modeling across multiple systems, broadens understanding of state-of-the-art computational modeling and optical measurements of tissues/cell structures, and describes in detail fiber-scale properties such as orientation and crimp.
The book, intended for biomedical, mechanical, and computational engineering scientists, portrays the commonality of tissue microstructure that dictates physiological function in various organs. Structurally based models are given to offer insights into the function, structure, and mechanics of tissue components, and contributors give a statement of future directions of the field.
The book is a tribute to Dr. Yoram Lanir of the Technion Institute of Technology, who is a pioneer in tissue mechanics modeling and simulation, and is co-edited by Dr. Ghassan Kassab.
