Abstract

Gerald C Hsu

The author has studied strength of materials and theory of elasticity through his undergraduate courses at the University of Iowa (UI). He also conducted research work and earned a master’s degree in Biomechanics under Professor James Andrews. In 1970-1971, he used a combined spring and dashpot model to simulate the behaviors of human joints, bones, muscles, and tendons, where he took some related courses at the UI School of Medicine, to investigate the soldier-weapon biophysical interactions during the Vietnam war era. Next, he went to MIT to pursue his PhD study under Professor Norman Jones, who taught him theory of plasticity and dynamic plastic behaviors of various structure elements. To further his education, he took additional graduate courses in various fields of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, bridge design using energy absorption pad, and soil mechanics under earthquake forces which deal with “time-dependent issues”. Since then, many advancements have been made in the biomechanics branch, especially with human body live tissues that possess certain viscoelastic characteristics, such as bones, muscles, cartilages, tendons (connect bone to muscle), ligaments (connect bone to bone), fascia, and skin. For example, the author suffered plantar fasciitis for many years. He understood that calf stretching exercises or wearing the night splint dorsiflexes forefoot, at the back of the foot, increases plantar fascia tension to offer stress-relief from the pain. This model where muscles and tendons connect the lower leg and foot is a form of viscoelastic study for medical problem solving.
