Biomechanics involves applying mechanical laws to living organisms, including humans, animals, plants, and their cellular structures. This field shares strong ties with engineering, frequently employing conventional engineering methods to examine biological functions. Fundamental concepts from Newtonian physics and materials science often provide accurate models for understanding biological mechanics. Key engineering specialties like continuum mechanics, structural evaluation, motion studies, and dynamic systems contribute significantly to biomechanical research.
