BIOEN 6201 - Biomechanics

Meets with BIOEN 5201. Fundamental principles of mechanics applied to the study of biological systems. Passive mechanical behaviors of biological materials, measurement of nonlinear strain in tissues, arterial flow, mechanical interactions of implants with tissue, skeletal muscle mechanics, segmental biomechanics, and control of motion. Includes laboratory experience in material covered in lecture. The lecture portion of this course meets with senior students enrolled in the 5000 level version. Laboratory exercises and/or projects for the 6000 vs. 5000 level courses differ to accommodate the difference in level.
