Principles Biomechanical Engin

Catalog description

Study of the basic mechanical properties of the human body, including the biomechanics of locomotion and measurement of physiological parameters. The applications of statics and dynamics to biomechanics. Studying the elastic, hyperelastic, and viscoelastic material properties of Biological tissues. Image-based multiscale and multiphysics modeling in biomechanics. Projects will be included that will stress mathematical and computational modeling and analysis of the mechanics of tissues, limbs, joints, and bioscaffolds. Prerequisite: ME 211, ME 274, graduate and undergraduate in mechanical engineering. Offered in the Spring.
