Читать книгу Materials for Biomedical Engineering - Mohamed N. Rahaman - Страница 139

An understanding of mechanical property principles is important in designing materials for use in biomedical applications and engineering applications as well. These principles are particularly important in applications where the biomaterial is subjected to a significant stress, such as fracture fixation plates, total joint replacement, healing of large defects in the long bones of the human limbs and dental restorations such as crowns and bridges.
