Description: The principles of biomechanics are central in the functions of the human body, including load-bearing, motion, normal and pathologic physiology, as well as healing. The objectives of this course are to introduce and analyze biomechanical principles using stress and strain, load and deformation, and material properties. Though the primary focus will be at the tissue level, the modern field of cell biomechanics will also be discussed. Additionally, aspects of the blood rheology and circulation, hard tissue mechanics, viscoelasticity and soft tissues, and musculoskeletal mechanics.
