Biomechanics

Catalog description

Biomechanics is the application of mechanical principles to living organisms that included bioengineering, research and analysis of mechanism in living organisms, and application of engineering principles to and from biological systems. This course can be carried forth on from the molecular level including collagen and elastin, all the way up to the tissue and organ level. Some simple applications of Newtonian mechanics can supply approximations on each level, but precise details demand the use of continuum mechanics.
