  • MIM U660: Computer Aided Design

    4.00 Credits
    Northeastern University

    Examines the field of computer-aided design. Introduces the concepts of 3D geometric modeling of mechanical parts and assemblies. Covers the fundamentals of curves and surfaces that are utilized to create "real" parts that have complex shapes. Covers the concepts of parametric solid modeling that are utilized by all commercial CAD/CAM systems. Includes solid modeling techniques such as linear/nonlinear sweep, CSG, and B-rep. Introduces the basics of geometric relations and constraints. Shows how to create assemblies from individual parts. Covers CAD/CAM applications such as mass properties, mechanical tolerances, finite element modeling and analysis, and CNC tool path generation. A commercial CAD/CAM system is used to provide students with hands-on experience in a lab setting to master the concepts covered in the course.

  • MIM U665: Musculoskeletal Biomechanics

    4.00 Credits
    Northeastern University

    Emphasizes the quantitative analysis of human musculoskeletal system statics and dynamics, including gait analysis and estimation of the complex loads on human joint systems, in part one. Investigates how the form of connective tissue and bone is derived from function in part two. Integral to this investigation is a quantitative analysis of the material properties of bone, ligament, tendon, and cartilage. Students form groups in part three and select a relevant, current topic in musculoskeletal biomechanics to investigate and present results to the class.

  • MIM U667: Solid Mechanics of Cells and Tissues

    4.00 Credits
    Northeastern University

    Focuses on the multiscale mechanical behavior of biological tissues. The mechanical integrity of a single cell depends on the mechanical properties and geometrical arrangements of the fiber network in the extracellular matrix. Introduces the statistical concept of persistent length and entanglement of long-chain polymer molecules, linear elasticity and viscoelasticity, membrane undulations, stability of vesicles. Discusses the intersurface forces that cause cells to adhere and to form microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic two-dimensional membranes and three-dimensional structures. Introduces experimental techniques and measurements involving atomic force microscope, surface force apparatus, optical tweezers, micropipette aspiration. Provides examples for specific physiological and path-physiological phenomena related to mechanical and adhesion behavior of cells and membranes.
