Fundamental of engineering mechanics such as dynamics and deformable body mechanics as applied to biological tissues and systems. Topics include linear and angular kinematics as well as kinetics as they apply to biomechanical systems; Apply methods of statics to biomechanical systems for deformation analysis; Principle of mechanics of materials including stress, strain, material properties, materials models of biological tissues, multi-axial deformation, torsion, bending and Mohr’s circle.
