Advanced Biomechanics and Applied Stress Analysis

Catalog description

A basic course intended to provide exposure of the upper year undergraduate Biomedical Engineering students to the fundamental principles of mechanics of materials and deformable bodies including topics such as stress, strain, deflections and failure modes and their interconnecting relationships. Common loading topics such axial, torsional, bending and shear loads will be explained, along with combined loading, stress transformations and failure criteria and their applications to biomechanics problems.
