BELS 428 - Eggn428 Computational Biomechanics

Institution:

Colorado School of Mines

Subject:

Description:

Computational Biomechanics provides and introduction to the application of computer simulation to solve some fundamental problems in biomechanics and bioengineering. Musculoskeletal mechanics, medical image reconstruction, hard and soft tissue modeling, joint mechanics, and inter-subject variability will be considered. An emphasis will be placed on understanding the limitations of the computer model as a predictive tool and the need for rigorous verification and validation of computational techniques. Clinical application of biomechanical modeling tools is highlighted and impact on patient quality of life is demonstrated. Prerequisites: EGGN413 Computer Aided Engineering, EGGN325/BELS325 Introduction to Biomedical Engineering. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
