BIOENG 1633 - BIOMECHANICS 4 - BIOMECHANICS OF ORGANS, TISSUES, AND CELLS

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Modern biomechanics is an increasingly diverse field that encompasses the mechanics of the whole human body, including all the way down to the cellular and molecular levels. Biomechanics 4 builds upon biomechanics fundamentals learned in BIOENG 1630 and BIOENG 1631 in building a comprehensive application of bio solid mechanics to describe the mechanical behavior of soft and hard biological tissues. The course provides fundamental concepts in the development and application of constitutive models, as well as a foundation for more advanced topics that are covered in graduate school. Mathematica (Wolfram Research, Inc.) Is used both in class and for assignments. Upon completing the course, the student should be able to formulate biomechanics constitutive models that describe soft and hard tissues and use Mathematica as a framework for exploring the impact of model parameters in the model description.
