This is a reference guide to understanding human anatomy and biomechanical terminology. It explains how and why to perform calculations that correlate injury to the human body and the forces that produce injury. The book covers the theoretical mathematics behind understanding how injuries occur, the types of injuries, human and biological materials, age and biomechanical factors, impact loading, investigating injuries, and the importance of expertise witnesses and testimony in both civil and criminal cases.
Zielgruppe
This book will be of interest to forensic science professionals working in histology, anthropology, medico-pathology, biomechanics, and engineering. It will also be useful to students enrolled in courses in osteology, biomechanics, forensic engineering, and forensic science.
