BIOMECHANICS

Catalog description

The overall objective of this course is to train students on problem-posing and problem-solving skills and illustrating how the fundamentals of mechanics are applied to biological problems. This course offers insight into the mechanics of hard tissue, musculoskeletal soft tissue, joint articulating surface motion, analysis of gait, mechanics of head and neck, biomechanics of chest and abdomen impact, cardiac biomechanics, heart and valve dynamics, molecular transport and regulation in microcirculation, modeling in cellular biomechanics and introduction to sports biomechanics. Prerequisites: MECH3599 and MATH2750 (4 credits) spring
