Wiley Reliability in Biomechanics - Mechanical Engineering Book

Reliability in Biomechanics provides a deep look into advanced methodologies and algorithms developed over the last fifteen years. While traditional deterministic methods rely on empirical safety factors, they often fail to account for real uncertainties in materials, geometry, and loading. This limitation is particularly problematic in biomechanical applications where design uncertainties in prosthesis systems are common. This volume, part of the Mechanical Engineering and Solid Mechanics series, addresses these gaps by implementing improved numerical strategies. It offers solutions for managing the complex uncertainties encountered in the design and engineering of multiphysical systems. This text is a valuable resource for professionals and researchers working at the intersection of solid mechanics and human kinetics, providing the tools necessary to move beyond simple safety factors toward more accurate reliability assessments.
