Course detail
FSI-RBAAcad. year: 2023/2024
Biomechanics I is an introductory course into biomechanics. This course introduces terminology and provides basic knowledge necessary for interdisciplinary communication with medical staff, specifically about the structure and function of cells, tissues and organs; therefore, basic knowledge on human anatomy, histology, physiology and pathology is provided. In the part dedicated to biomaterial engineering, the course focuses on constitutive and strength properties of basic biomaterials (collagen, elastin), and on properties of some materials being used in implants (e.g. austenitic steels, alloys, high-pressure-polyethylene, and ceramics). Using the systemic approach, various aspects of computational modelling are presented as well as medical imaging techniques whose outputs are used for creating computational models. An illustration of various biomechanical problems is presented as well.
