Mechanical Properties of Solid Materials and Biological Tissues: a Comprehensive Medical Perspective
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The mechanical behavior of solid materials and biological tissues represents a fundamental area of study bridging physics, biology, and clinical medicine. This article provides an in-depth analysis of stress–strain relationships, elasticity, plasticity, and viscoelasticity, with a particular focus on how these principles apply to living tissues such as bone, muscle, tendon, and cartilage. Unlike conventional solid materials, biological tissues exhibit nonlinear, anisotropic, and time-dependent mechanical properties due to their complex microstructure and biochemical composition. Understanding these characteristics is essential for clinical applications, including trauma management, orthopedic surgery, prosthetic design, and rehabilitation medicine.
