Application of engineering mechanics to the study of normal and diseased musculoskeletal systems, including bone and soft tissue biology, musculoskeletal statics and dynamics, mechanical properties of biological tissues, and structural analysis of bone-implant systems. Permission of instructor required.

Learning Outcomes

1Explain how concepts in continuum mechanics and constitutive models apply to tissue biomechanics.

2Solve basic biomechanics problems related to health and disease in bone and soft musculoskeletal tissues.

3Investigate appropriate constitutive models based on tissue structure, physiology, and relevant assumptions.

4Design a simplified computational biomechanics model of a tissue system of biomedical relevance.
