Bachelor of Bioengineering Introduction to Biomechanics

Mechanics of the human musculoskeletal system and its joints. Basic concepts for deformable body mechanics, including stress and strain analysis, viscoelasticity and applications to common problems in orthopedic biomechanics.

• To understand key concepts in statics, mechanics and strength of materials such as equilibrium, stress, strain, material properties.
• To develop an understanding of how to formulate mathematical solutions to a variety of problems in mechanics.
• To learn how mechanics of rigid body and deformable bodies may be applied to real world of interest to biomechanics.
• Supplement theory with very limited laboratory based experiments.
• Human anatomy
