Seeking Authors for New Book

[Radovan Zdero]

Seeking Authors for a New Book -- “Experimental Methods in Orthopaedic Biomechanics (Second Edition)” will be published in 2026 by Elsevier (New York). This is a practical, hands-on, step-by-step, and instructional guidebook on in-vitro experiments in orthopaedic biomechanics (i.e. bones, joints, soft tissues, implants) written by an international team of over 50 experts. As the Editor, I am seeking experts to write new chapters on in-vitro (not in-vivo) experimentation on these specific topics: (1) Cyclic fatigue testing until failure of whole bones and implants; (2) Fiber optic sensor measurements of surface strain for whole bones and implants; (3) Optical/video or Ultrasonic measurements of micromotion at bone-bone interfaces (e.g. fracture line), bone-implant interfaces (e.g. hip implant stem inside femur medullary canal), or implant-implant interfaces (e.g. screws in a fixation plate); (4) Acoustic emission detection of surface strain, internal strain, and crack onset for cortical or cancellous bone; (5) Optical/video or Ultrasonic tracking of the 3D articulations/kinematics of human or artificial joints; (6) Wear testing of total joint replacements using 3D joint simulators; (7) Mechanical testing of individual collagen fibers that make up cartilage, ligaments, meniscus, muscles, and tendons. If you have another potential topic idea, make sure it does not duplicate what is already in the book’s First Edition at https://doi.org/10.1016/c2015-0-00572-x. Please send an email to rzdero@yahoo.ca for possible consideration of your topic, your full CV, and 2 of your published papers on the specific topic --- Dr. Radovan Zdero, PhD, CEng, MIMechE, CANADA.
