Biomechanics

Summary

This subject introduces students to biomechanics (theory, practice, modelling, experiments and applications). Applications are focused mainly on engineering interdisciplinary problems of plants, animals, humans, medical, sport, trauma and ergonomics of the present days. Acquired knowledge (basics of movement biomechanics, processing of medical and biological requirements and data, analyses of successful/unsuccessful treatments, statistics, CT, MRI, new design of implants, boundary and initial conditions, loadings, tissue properties, material models, strength analyses etc.) are needed for success scientific work. From the engineering multidisciplinary point of view, there are scientific applications of biology in mechanics or applications of mechanics in biology. Acquired knowledge are needed for success scientific work, research, development and innovations in industry.
