MEC6430   Solid Biomechanics   (10 credits)

Description

This course introduces students to the field of biomechanics and will bridge the gap between engineering concepts (c.f. statics and dynamics, forces, stresses and strains etc.) and areas of medicine and physiology. The module aims to apply the principles of mechanical engineering in order to describe the complex musculoskeletal system and its various components (muscle, bone etc.). The course will focus on the fundamentals of biomedical solid mechanics.
