Background
Fung, Yuan-Cheng Bertram was born on September 15, 1919 in Yuhong, Changchow, Kiangsu, China. Arrived in the United States, 1945, naturalized, 1957. Son of Chung-Kwang and Lien (Hu) Fung.
(The objective of this book remains the same as that state...)
The objective of this book remains the same as that stated in the first edition: to present a comprehensive perspective of biomechanics from the stand point of bioengineering, physiology, and medical science, and to develop mechanics through a sequence of problems and examples. My three-volume set of Bio mechanics has been completed. They are entitled: Biomechanics: Mechanical Properties of Living Tissues; Biodynamics: Circulation; and Biomechanics: Motion, Flow, Stress, and Growth; and this is the first volume. The mechanics prerequisite for all three volumes remains at the level of my book A First Course in Continuum Mechanics (3rd edition, Prentice-Hall, Inc. , 1993). In the decade of the 1980s the field of Biomechanics expanded tremen dously. New advances have been made in all fronts. Those that affect the basic understanding of the mechanical properties of living tissues are described in detail in this revision. The references are brought up to date.

(This book is a compendium of papers contributed by Y C Fu...)
This book is a compendium of papers contributed by Y C Fung, Honorary Chairman of the World Council for Biomechanics, on the development of biomechanics in the past 30 years. Most of the articles are records of original contributions scattered in many journals. Having these papers collected together, classified according to subjects, and arranged in chronological order for each subject, will help the reader to obtain a total perspective of his work and his association with his colleagues. The selection ranges from constitutive equations, microcirculation, heart, lung, blood vessels, ureter and other internal organs, and tissue engineering. Several summary articles provide a fascinating guide to the evolution of ideas over this period of time. His work done in the field of aeroelasticity predates his biomechanics work. The applications of some general ideas of aeroelasticity are broader than the specific topics discussed, as exemplified by the sharing of ideas between aeronautics and biology.This valuable title will be of interest to anyone concerned with bioengineering and aeronautics, and should have a place in the library of people who are just starting their career as well as those who are well into it.

( Geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate stud...)
Geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this outstanding text was written by one of the founders of bioengineering and modern biomechanics. It offers unusually thorough coverage of the interaction of aerodynamic forces and elastic structures. It has also proven highly useful to designers and engineers concerned with flutter, structural dynamics, flight loads, and related subjects.An introductory chapter covers concepts of aerodynamics, elasticity, and mechanical vibrations. Chapters 2 through 11 survey aeroelastic problems, their historical background, basic physical concepts, and the principles of analysis. Chapters 12 through 15 contain the fundamentals of oscillating airfoil theory and a brief summary of experimental results. Each chapter is followed by a bibliography, and 147 illustrations and 20 tables illuminate the text.

(Written for engineers and engineering scientists, this bo...)
Written for engineers and engineering scientists, this book gives first priority to the formulation of problems, presenting the classical results as the gold standard, and the numerical approach as a tool for obtaining solutions. The classical part is a revision of the text "Foundations of Solid Mechanics", with a much-expanded discussion on the theories of plasticity and large elastic deformation with finite strains. The computational part is all new and aims to solve major linear and nonlinear boundary-value problems.

Fung, Yuan-Cheng Bertram was born on September 15, 1919 in Yuhong, Changchow, Kiangsu, China. Arrived in the United States, 1945, naturalized, 1957. Son of Chung-Kwang and Lien (Hu) Fung.
Bachelor of Science, National Central University, Chungking, China, 1941. Master of Science, National Central University, Chungking, China, 1943. Doctor of Science (honorary), National Central University, Chungking, China, 2002.
Doctor of Philosophy, California Institute of Technology, 1948. Doctor of Science (honorary), Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, 1992. Doctor of Science (honorary), Drexel University, 2001.
Doctor of Science (honorary), Sichuan University, 2002. Doctor of Science (honorary), National Cheng Kung University, 2003. Doctor of Science (honorary), Northwestern University, 2004.
Fung currently is Professor Emeritus and Engineer at the University of California, San Diego (University of California, San Diego). He published prominent texts along with Pin Tong who was then at Hong Kong University of Science & Technology. He is the author of numerous books including Foundations of Solid Mechanics, Continuum Mechanics, and a series of books on Biomechanics.
He is also one of the principal founders of the Journal of Biomechanics and was a past chair of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers International Applied Mechanics Division.
In 1972, Fung established the Biomechanics Symposium under the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. This biannual summer meeting, first held at the Georgia Institute of Technology, became the annual Summer Bioengineering Conference.
Fung and colleagues were also the first to recognize the importance of residual stress on arterial mechanical behavior. Fung"s Law Fung"s famous exponential strain constitutive equation for preconditioned soft tissues is with quadratic forms of Green-Lagrange strains and, and material constants. is a strain energy function per volume unit, which is the mechanical strain energy for a given temperature.
Materials that follow this law are known as Fung-elastic.
