Biomechanical Instrumentation

Catalog description

In biomechanics it is important to be able to measure mechanic variables with accuracy and in an appropriate manner. This course will cover the methods and issues associated with measuring mechanical and chemical properties in a biomechanical environment. This will include identifying the mechano-chemical source of biological signals, measuring basic mechanical properties such as position, pressure, flow-rate and temperature with particular attention being paid to biological applications. In addition, the methods needed to measure different types of radiation will be studies to allow students to understand how radiological equipment is used and controlled.Pre-requisite: MECH 312 .
