BIOMECHANICS 2: INTRODUCTION TO BIODYNAMICS AND BIOSOLID MECHANICS [Archived Catalog]

2017-2018 Undergraduate Catalog

BIOENG 1631 - BIOMECHANICS 2: INTRODUCTION TO BIODYNAMICS AND BIOSOLID MECHANICS

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Modern biomechanics is an increasingly diverse field that encompasses the mechanics of the whole body, all the way down to the cellular and molecular levels. Students are introduced to fundamental concepts and techniques of biodynamics and bio solid mechanics which provide the basis for biomechanics 3 and 4. General approaches used in mechanics are introduced throughout the semester and applied in several laboratories. Upon completing the course, the student should be able to demonstrate recall of functional anatomy of musculoskeletal system perform inverse dynamic analyses describe the principles of basic muscle biomechanics perform analyses of deformable bodies (including viscoelastic materials) describe general experimental techniques for rigid and deformable body analyses.
