Biomechanics for Biomedical Engineers

Catalog description

Biomechanics offers contemporary topics on applications of linear and nonlinear solid mechanics to biological tissues, biomedical device design and intervention. The course will be composed of two parts: (1) theoretical aspects of biomechanics including kinematics, stress, and elastic material models that are related to modeling of biological tissue behavior; 2) review and discussion of clinical and engineering journal papers related to disease treatment and modeling. | Prerequisites: Undergraduate biomechanics course or instructor's consent
