ENGG 182 - Fundamentals of Biomechanics

Semester Hours: 3
Periodically
This course provides an overview of the mechanical properties, structural behavior, and dynamics of biological tissues. Students apply principles of statics, dynamics, and strength of materials to the musculoskeletal system. Focus is on biomechanics of soft and hard tissue in the organ systems, with linear viscoelastic modeling applied to soft biological materials. Applications of fluid mechanical principles to biological systems are also discussed. (3 hours lecture.)
