ENGG 182 - Biomechanics and Biomaterials
Once every three semesters
This course is designed to introduce the students to the application of
statics and dynamics to perform force analyses of the musculo-skeletal
system. Introduction to the fundamentals of strength of materials and
its application to deformable bodies. Biomechanics of soft and hard
tissue and its application to organ systems. Linear viscoelastic
models, incorporating a blend of both elastic and viscous
characteristics, are analyzed. The course also provides a comprehensive
background in biomaterials. Topics include mechanical, chemical and
thermal properties of replacement materials and tissues. Implants are
studied from the point of view of biological response of tissues and
evaluation of biomaterials. (3 hours lecture.)
