Modern Methods in Biomedical Engineering II

Catalog description

This course is geared towards the applications of the advanced computational techniques to various biomedical engineering problems and covers advanced computational methods from a biomedical engineering perspective. A basics knowledge of biomechanics in various physiological systems, including the cardiovascular system (arteries, aneurysms, blood circulation), and the respiratory system (lung, breathing, inhalation drug delivery) will be presented. Lectures focus on providing an understanding of computational methods used in simulating biomechanical phenomena such as the Finite Element Method (FEM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Course topics include equations of motion and equilibrium for solids and fluids, biomechanical constitutive models of tissue, hyperelasticity, viscoelasticity, and poroelasticity, biofluids, software introduction, various computational methods and their applications in biomechanical simulations.
