Abstract
Biomechanics of injury and prevention is a cross-discipline that studies the injury mechanism and protection methods of biological tissues or organs, which belongs to an important branch of biomechanics. Its research goal is to reduce the injury of tissues or organs under load conditions, improve the human body’s protective ability under extreme load conditions, human survivability in special environments, and the therapeutic effect on pathological conditions. In this chapter, we have an overview of the main research content, research methods and significance of research on the biomechanics of injury and prevention. The contents of each chapter of this book are also briefly introduced.
