Biomechanics
Thoroughly revised and updated for the second edition, this comprehensive textbook
integrates basic and advanced concepts of mechanics with numerical methods and
biomedical applications. Coverage is expanded to include a complete introduction to
vector and tensor calculus, and new or fully updated chapters on biological materials and
continuum mechanics, motion, deformation and rotation, and the constitutive modelling
of solids and fluids. Topics such as kinematics, equilibrium, and stresses and strains are
also included, as well as the mechanical behaviour of fibres and the analysis of
one-dimensional continuous elastic media. Numerical solution procedures based on the
finite element method are presented, with accompanying MATLAB-based software and
dozens of new biomedical engineering examples and exercises allowing readers to
practise and improve their skills. Solutions for instructors are also available online. This is
the definitive guide for both undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in
biomechanics.
Frank Baaijens is Full Professor in Soft Tissue Biomechanics and Tissue Engineering at
the Eindhoven University of Technology. He is currently the University’s Rector
Magnificus.

“‘Biomechanics: Concepts and Computation’ remains one of the strongest textbooks ever
written in the field of biomechanical education. The theory in the book is thorough and
rigorous, and is extremely well illustrated with numerous excellent exercises. I find the
chapters describing numerical implementation and finite element formulations especially
useful for translating the theory of tissue mechanics to bioengineering practice. I am using
this book routinely in my undergraduate and graduate courses and will continue to do so
with this second edition.”

About the Cover
The cover contains images reflecting biomechanics research topics at the Eind-
hoven University of Technology. An important aspect of mechanics is experimen-
tal work to determine material properties and to validate models. The application
field ranges from microscopic structures at the level of cells to larger organs
like the heart. The core of biomechanics is constituted by models formulated in
terms of partial differential equations and computer models to derive approximate
solutions.
• Main image: Myogenic precursor cells have the ability to differentiate and fuse to form
multinucleated myotubes. This differentiation process can be influenced by means of
mechanical as well as biochemical stimuli. To monitor this process of early differentia-
tion, immunohistochemical analyses are performed to provide information concerning
morphology and localization of characteristic structural proteins of muscle cells. In the
illustration, the sarcomeric proteins actin (red), and myosin (green) are shown. Nuclei
are stained blue. Image courtesy of Mrs Marloes Langelaan.
• Left top: To study the effect of a mechanical load on the damage evolution of skeletal
tissue, an in-vitro model system using tissue engineered muscle was developed. The
image shows this muscle construct in a set-up on a confocal microscope. In the device
the construct can be mechanically deformed by means of an indentor. Fluorescent iden-
tification of both necrotic and apoptotic cells can be established using different staining
techniques. Image courtesy of Mrs Debby Gawlitta.
• Left middle: A three-dimensional finite element mesh of the human heart ventricles is
shown. This mesh is used to solve the equations of motion for the beating heart. The
model was used to study the effect of depolarization waves and mechanics in the paced
heart. Image courtesy of Mr Roy Kerckhoffs.
• Left bottom: The equilibrium equations are derived from Newton’s laws and describe
(quasi-)static force equilibrium in a three-dimensional continuum. See Eqs. (8.33),
(8.34) and (8.35) in the present book.
Preface to the First Edition
What makes this book different from other basic mechanics or biomechanics
treatises? Of course, as in standard books, there is the usual attention focussed on
kinematics, equilibrium, stresses and strains. But several topics are discussed that
are normally not found in one single textbook or only described briefly.
• Much attention is given to large deformations and rotations and non-linear constitutive
equations (see Chapters 4, 9 and 10).
• A separate chapter is devoted to one-dimensional visco-elastic behaviour (Chapter 5).
• Special attention is given to long, slender, fibre-like structures (Chapter 4).
• The similarities and differences in describing the behaviour of solids and fluids and
aspects of diffusion and filtration are discussed (Chapters 12 to 16).
• Basic concepts of mechanics and numerical solution strategies for partial differential
equations are integrated in one single textbook (Chapters 14 to 18).
Because of the usually rather complex geometries (and non-linear aspects)
found in biomechanical problems, hardly any relevant analytical solutions can be
derived for the field equations, and approximate solutions have to be constructed.
It is the opinion of the authors that, at Bachelor level, at least the basis for these
numerical techniques has to be addressed.
In Chapters 14 to 18 extensive use is made of a finite element code
written in MATLAB by one of the authors, which is especially developed
as a tool for students. Applying this code requires that the user has a
licence for the use of MATLAB, which can be obtained via MathWorks
(www.mathworks.com). The finite element code, which is a set of MATLAB
scripts, including manuals, is freely available and can be downloaded from the
website: www.tue.nl/biomechanicsbook.
Preface to the Second Edition
Since 2009, when this book was published for the first time, we have been using
it in our Biomechanics courses in the educational programme Biomedical Engi-
neering, giving us hands-on experience with the book and the exercises. When
we were investigating ideas for a second edition, we found that external review-
ers were primarily asking for more examples and exercises, concurring with our
own thoughts on the book. Over the years, we have assembled quite a number of
examples that were often used to animate the lectures and to illustrate the theory
in biomedical applications. At the same time, the number of available exercises
increased considerably. Eventually, adding many of these examples and increas-
ing the number of exercises are the most significant changes in the second edition.
The major changes in the text are:
• Mathematical preliminaries are now concentrated in Chapter 1 and no longer spread
over different chapters.
• At some points in the original text, explanations were terse and too concise for students.
Based on our experiences over the past eight years, we have extended the text at a
number of points and, most importantly, added the earlier mentioned new examples.
The biggest change is in Chapter 12, including a separate section on material frame
indifference of constitutive equations and a more extensive treatment of hyperelastic
materials.
The objectives of the book did not change. It is still meant to be a basic train-
ing in mechanics, appropriate for our candidate biomedical engineers at Bachelor
level, starting with the basic concepts of mechanics and ending with numerical
solution procedures. This book differs from most books on biomechanics, which
are usually aimed at students with already considerable knowledge in contin-
uum mechanics and wishing to enter the field of biomechanics. Consequently,
those books pay great attention to biology and physiology. In contrast, we assume
that students start at a very basic level in terms of mechanics, but already have
substantial physiological and biological background knowledge.
1 Vector and Tensor Calculus
1.1 Introduction
a = ae. (1.1)
The length of the vector a is denoted by |a| and is equal to the length of the arrow.
The length is equal to a, when a is positive, and equal to −a when a is negative.
The direction of a is given by the unit vector e combined with the sign of a. The
unit vector e has length 1. The vector 0 has length zero.
This makes sense: pulling twice as hard on a wire creates a force in the wire
having the same orientation (the direction of the wire does not change), but with
a magnitude that is twice as large.

a c
Figure 1.2
Graphical representation of the sum of two vectors: c = a + b.
The sum of two vectors a and b is a new vector c, equal to the diagonal of the
parallelogram spanned by a and b (see Fig. 1.2):
c = a + b. (1.3)
This may be interpreted as follows. Imagine two thin wires which are attached
to a point P. The wires are being pulled at in two different directions according

pulling force. The net force vector exerted on the attachment point P is the vector
sum of the two vectors a and b. If the wires are aligned with each other and the
pulling direction is the same, the resulting force direction clearly coincides with
the direction of the two wires, and the length of the resulting force vector is the
sum of the two pulling forces. Alternatively, if the two wires are aligned but the
pulling forces are in opposite directions and of equal magnitude, the resulting
force exerted on point P is the zero vector 0.
The inner product or dot product of two vectors is a scalar quantity, defined as
a · b = |a||b|
cos(φ), (1.4)
where φ is the smallest angle between a and b (see Fig. 1.3). The inner product is
commutative, i.e.
a · b = b · a. (1.5)
The inner product can be used to define the length of a vector, since the inner
product of a vector with itself yields (φ = 0):
a · a = |a||a| cos(0) = |a|2 . (1.6)

The direction of vector c is determined by the corkscrew or right-hand rule.
Vector product c = a × b.
If two vectors are perpendicular to each other the inner product of these two
vectors is equal to zero, since in that case φ = π2 :
π
a · b = 0, if φ = . (1.7)
2
The cross product or vector product of two vectors a and b yields a new vector
c that is perpendicular to both a and b such that a, b and c form a right-handed
system. The vector c is denoted as
c = a × b . (1.8)
The length of the vector c is given by
sin(φ),
|c| = |a||b| (1.9)
where φ is the smallest angle between a and b. The length of c equals the area of
the parallelogram spanned by the vectors a and b. The vector system a, b and c
forms a right-handed system, meaning that if a corkscrew were used rotating from
a to b the corkscrew would move into the direction of c (see Fig. 1.4).
The vector product of a vector a with itself yields the zero vector, since in that
case φ = 0:
a × a = 0. (1.10)
4 Vector and Tensor Calculus
The vector product is not commutative, since the vector product of b and a yields
a vector that has the opposite direction to the vector product of a and b:
a × b · c = (a × b)
· c. (1.12)
So, first the vector product of a and b is determined and subsequently the inner
product of the resulting vector with the third vector c is taken. If all three vectors
a, b and c are non-zero vectors, while the triple product is equal to zero, then the
vector c lies in the plane spanned by the vectors a and b. This can be explained
by the fact that the vector product of a and b yields a vector perpendicular to the
plane spanned by a and b. Conversely, this implies that if the triple product is non-
zero then the three vectors a, b and c are not in the same plane. In that case the
absolute value of the triple product of the vectors a, b and c equals the volume of
the parallelepiped spanned by a, b and c.
The dyadic or tensor product of two vectors a and b defines a linear transfor-
mation operator called a dyad ab. Application of a dyad ab to a vector p yields
a vector into the direction of a, where a is multiplied by the inner product of b
and p:
ab · p = a (b · p). (1.13)
So, application of a dyad to a vector transforms this vector into another vector.
This transformation is linear, as can be seen from
ab · (αp + βq) = ab · αp + ab · βq = αab · p + βab · q. (1.14)
T is defined by
The transpose of a dyad (ab)
(ab) a · p,
T · p = b (1.15)
or simply
(ab) a.
T = b (1.16)
An operator A that transforms a vector a into another vector b according to
b = A · a, (1.17)
is called a second-order tensor A. This implies that the dyadic product of two
vectors is a second-order tensor.
In three-dimensional space, a set of three vectors c1 , c2 and c3 is called a basis
if the triple product of the three vectors is non-zero, hence if all three vectors are
non-zero vectors and if they do not lie in the same plane:
5 1.4 Decomposition of a Vector with Respect to a Basis
As stated above, a Cartesian vector basis is an orthonormal basis. Any vector can
be decomposed into the sum of, at most, three vectors parallel to the three basis
vectors ex , ey and ez :
a = ax ex + ay ey + az ez . (1.19)
The components ax , ay and az can be found by taking the inner product of the
vector a with respect to each of the basis vectors:
ax = a · ex
ay = a · ey (1.20)
az = a · ez ,
where use is made of the fact that the basis vectors have unit length and are
mutually orthogonal, for example:
a · ex = ax ex · ex + ay ey · ex + az ez · ex = ax . (1.21)
The components, say ax , ay and az , of a vector a with respect to the Cartesian
vector basis, may be collected in a column, denoted by a∼:
⎡ ⎤
ax
⎢ ⎥
a∼ = ⎣ ay ⎦ . (1.22)
az
So, with respect to a Cartesian vector basis, any vector a may be decomposed into
components that can be collected in a column:
a ←→ a∼ . (1.23)
This ‘transformation’ is only possible and meaningful if the vector basis with
which the components of the column a∼ are defined has been specified. The choice
of a different vector basis leads to a different column representation a∼ of the vector

a, as illustrated in Fig. 1.5. The vector a has two different column representations,
a∼ and a∼∗ , depending on which vector basis is used. If, in a two-dimensional
context, {ex , ey } is used as a vector basis then

such that:

Using the properties of the basis vectors of the Cartesian vector basis:
ex × ex = 0
ex × ey = ez
ex × ez = −ey
d = ab · c = A · c , (1.36)
In column notation
with A the second-order tensor equal to the dyadic product ab.
this is equivalent to
Example 1.1 Suppose we can write the vectors a and b as the following linear combination of
the Cartesian basis vectors ex and ey :
a = ex + 2ey
b = 2ex + 5ey ,
and we wish to determine the inner and vector product of both vectors. Then:
a · b = (ex + 2ey ) · (2ex + 5ey )
= 2ex · ex + 5ex · ey + 4ey · ex + 10ey · ey
= 2 + 10
= 12.
When using column notation we can also write:
⎡ ⎤ ⎡ ⎤
1 2
⎢ ⎥ ⎢ ⎥
a∼ = ⎣ 2 ⎦ b∼ = ⎣ 5 ⎦ ,
0 0
and:
⎤ ⎡
2
⎢ ⎥
a · b = a∼T b∼ = [1 2 0] ⎣ 5 ⎦ = 12.
0
For the vector product a similar procedure can be used:
a × b = (ex + 2ey ) × (2ex + 5ey )
= 2ex × ex + 5ex × ey + 4ey × ex + 10ey × ey
= 0 + 5ez − 4ez + 0
= ez .
When using column notation for the vector product, Eq. (1.35) has to be used.
9 1.4 Decomposition of a Vector with Respect to a Basis
Example 1.2 Consider the Cartesian basis {ex , ey , ez }. We want to know whether the following
three vectors given by:
ε1 = 2ex
ε2 = ex + 2ey
ε3 = ey + 3ez
could also be used as a basis. For this purpose we have to determine whether the
vectors are independent, and consequently we calculate the triple product:
(ε 1 × ε2 ) · ε3 = 2ex × (ex + 2ey ) · (ey + 3ez )
= 4ez · (ey + 3ez ) = 12 = 0.
This means that the three vectors are independent and might be used as a basis.
However, they are not perpendicular and do not have length 1.
Example 1.3 With respect to a Cartesian basis {ex , ey , ez } the following vectors are defined:
a = ex + 2ey
b = 2ex + 5ey
c = 3ex .
AT = b
We want to determine the dyadic products A = ab, a and the result of A · c
and A · c. Write
