Description: INTRODUCTION TO BIOMECHANICS AND BIOMATERIALS ***** Introduction to the fundamentals of biomechanics including force analysis, mechanics of deformable bodies, stress and strain, multiaxial deformations, and viscoelasticity. Biomechanics of soft and hard tissues. Physical and The focus of this course is on the understanding of chemical properties of biomaterials. Materials covered include both natural and synthetic ones intended to function fundamental issues related to biomechanics of the human body in the biological environment. , reactions of different types of tissue and synthetic material to load and the biomechanics of biomaterial. In examples, the effect of mechanical conditions on the human body function and the effect of tissue property on whole body behavior will be reviewed. ***** Prerequisite(s): BIOE 252, MECH 211, or permission of the instructor. ***** Instructor(s): Liebschner
