The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Knows the basic laws of mechanics 2. Learns the concepts of stress and strain in the context of biological tissues. 3. Knows the static and dynamic fundamentals of biomechanics 4. Understands the mechanical properties of bone and muscle tissues. 5. Apply engineering approaches and mechanical principles to solve real problems of the human body. 6. Understands the application of fluid dynamics principles to the blood circulation. |
| Biomechanics covers an introduction to topics such as statics, kinematics, kinetics, impulse and momentum, linear and angular motion, body mechanics, stress and strain, and the mechanical properties of soft tissues and bone. The teaching methods of the course include lectures, reading, discussions, individual study, and problem-solving. |
