Computational Biomechanics

The course introduces concepts and computational methods in biomedical engineering application, including analytical and numerical approaches to problem solving within this discipline. Concepts of mechanics and computational modeling techniques are applied both theoretically and using Matlab, for a wide variety of biomechanics problems. Topics include: kinematics, equilibrium, stress, strain, macro-level deformations, rotations, non-linear equations for visco-elastic behavior and fibrous-type structures.
