Design of Artificial Human Joints & Organs, 2014

?Design of Artificial Human Joints & Organs is intended to present the basics of the normal systems and how, due to aging, diseases or trauma, body parts may need to be replaced with manmade materials. The movement of the body generates forces in various work situations and also internally at various joints, muscles and ligaments. It is essential to figure out the forces, moments, pressure etc to design replacements that manage these stresses without breaking down. The mechanical characterization of the hard and the soft tissues are presented systematically using the principles of solid mechanics. The viscoelastic properties of the tissue will also discussed. This text covers the design science and methodology from concept to blueprint  to the final component being replaced. Each chapter will be a brief overview of various joint/organ replacement systems.

Engineers working on artificial joints and organs, as well as students of Mechanical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering are the main intended audience, however, the pedagogy is simple enough for those who are learning the subject for the first time.

Extended ToC is attached to the proposal. ​CHAPTER 1 : Overview of Human System & its Artificial Replacement CHAPTER 2: Mechanical Properties of Biological materials CHAPTER 3: Basics of Design Process CHAPTER 4: Biomaterials & its Chacterisation CHAPTER 5: Dental  Implants   Its Design & Manufacture CHAPTER 6: Design of  Bone Fracture Fixation Device CHAPTER  7: Shoulder Joint and its Artificial  Replacement CHAPTER 8: Elbow Joint & its Artificial Replacement CHAPTER 9: Wrist Joint & its Artificial Replacement CHAPTER 10: Finger Joint & its Artificial Replacement CHAPTER 11: Hip Joint and its Artificial Replacement CHAPTER 12: Knee Joint & its Artificial Replacements  CHAPTER 13: Ankle Joint and Its Artificial Replacements CHAPTER  14: Eye and its Artificial Replacement CHAPTER 15: Lungs  its Transplantation & Artificial Replacement CHAPTER 16: Design of Total Artificial Heart CHAPTER  17: Design of Heart ValvesCHAPTER 18: Kidney and its Artificial Replacement CHAPTER 19: Skin and Design of Artificial skin       CHAPTER 20: Artificial Pancreas CHAPTER 21: Liver & its Artificial Replacement               CHAPTER 22: Female Organs & its Artificial Replacements CHAPTER 23: Medical Device Market & Ethical issues of Implants CHAPTER 24: Manufacturing , Testing and Sterilization of Implants
