Title
Fundamentals of Biomaterials and Biomechanics (AC or GE)
Course Description
Principles of materials science and mechanics applicable to orthopedics, cell signaling, medical imaging, implant design, injury prevention and treatment, cardiovascular mechanics, and tissue engineering. Topics include: structure-function relationships of biocomposites; unique properties of biomaterial surfaces; behavior of tissues and materials in physiological environments; mechanics of human movement and physiology; dynamics and vibration; and viscoelastic models. Selected experimental measurements on biomechanical and biomaterial systems. Prerequisite: BME 244L and (Math 353 or 353A) and (ME 221L or BME 221L).
