Aim:
The course aims to bring understanding to the fundamental principles of biomechanics by applying the concepts and methods of the physical sciences and mathematics in an engineering approach to problems in living structures and organisms. After completing the course, the student should be able to:
- understand the model concept,
- simplify and model a biological system by applying fundamental concepts in applied mechanics,
- analyse and interpret the result from these models, and estimate the effect of the simplifications,
- develop relevant computational tools to analyse the models, and
- convey the results.
