Know what you are doing, this is a reference NOT a good textbook., May 04, 2015

This is not a book for anyone without a thorough background in mechanical engineering. And there are multiple formulas that are incorrect and the "examples" are only partial and incomplete. It will require supplementing with a standard material mechanics book.

Really well thought out book for Material Engineering, January 05, 2014
By Serge Marinkovic MD

Book discusses materials for placement into the Human body and why some work well and others not. Does lay down the foundation for tensile strength and stress fractures etc. Easily understood but the calculus is not well described and each diagram is highlighted in a faint black ink which was a poor choice.

Comprehensive text for upper level undergraduates, February 07, 2013

The text covers all of the areas of implantable materials for biomedical applications. A focus on fundamental engineering principles guides the text. Students will find the treatment of contemporary issues to be refreshing.
