Spring 2025 Lecture Upper Division
This course focuses on the concepts and applications of mechanics, imaging, and instrumentation methods towards evaluating experimental biomechanics at multiple length scales. Core concepts include mechanics of materials, dynamics, contact theory, and the simplifying assumptions and standardizations often needed to conduct experiments on biomaterials and living systems. Experimental methods may include atomic force microscopy, digital image correlation, and motion analysis.
Learning Outcomes1Understand solid mechanics and dynamics principles and concepts underlying experimental methods.
2Apply mathematical equations and underlying assumptions of biomechanics to experimental methods.
3Analyze selected biomechanical systems and measurements across a range of relevant length scales.
4Evaluate quality and reliability of assumptions and methods used in selected biomechanics applications.
