ME 4660 - Mechanics of Biological Solids
Structure and functional properties of connective tissue. Techniques for determining the mechanical response of biological soft and hard tissues. Includes static, viscoelastic, creep, fatigue and fracture. Simplified models of biological structures. Creation of geometric models from medical imaging and computational modeling. Specific topics may include bone, cartilage, ligaments, tendon, teeth, and skin.
Requisites: ET 2220
Credit Hours: 3
Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 3.0 lecture
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes: - Apply principles of continuum mechanics, elasticity, energy methods, and beam theory to biological structures.
- Describe appropriate material models for biological tissues based upon the application.
- Describe the structure of specific biological tissues and relate the structure to mechanical properties.
