  • MEAM 455: Continuum Biomechanics

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Continuum mechanics with applications to biological systems. Fundamental engineering conservation laws are introduced and illustrated using biological and non-biological examples. Kinematics of deformation, stress, and conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. Constitutive equations for fluids, solids, and intermediate types of media are described and applied to selected biological examples. Class work is complemented by hands-on experimental and computational laboratory experiences.

  • MEAM 505: Mechancial Properties of Macro/Nanoscale Materials

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    The application of continuum and microstructural concepts to consideration of the mechanics and mechanisms of flow and fracture in metals, polymers and ceramics. The course includes a review of tensors and elasticity with special emphasis on the effects of symmetry on tensor properties. Then deformation, fracture and degradation (fatique and wear) are treated, including mapping strategies for understanding the ranges of material properties.

  • MEAM 509: Mechanics of Human Motion

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    This course considers normal human movement (especially grasping, reaching, walking, and running), pathological conditions (e.g., resulting from disease, injury, malformations), and engineering approaches such as prostheses (limb replacements) and orthoses (limb assists) that may ameliorate the conditions and promote normal movements and function. In doing so, we will also learn musculoskeletal anatomy, comparative anatomy, muscle mechanics, and neural control. An objective of the course is to bring together technical analysis and synthesis skills of students with the practical problems of persons disabled by amputation, stroke, spinal cord injury, and other causes. The potential problems of applying engineering techniques to human beings will be emphasized. Engineering design comprises that are necessary are also given emphasis.

  • MEAM 510: Design of Mechatronic Systems

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Prerequisite(s): Graduate standing in engineering or permission of the instructor. In many modern systems, mechanical elements are tightly coupled with electronic components and embedded computers. Mechatronics is the study of how these domains are interconnected, and this hands-on, project-based course provides an integrated introduction to the fundamental components within each of the three domains, including: mechanical elements (prototyping, materials, actuators and sensors, transmissions, and fundamental kinematics), electronics(basic circuits, filters, op amps, discrete logic, and interfacing with mechanielements), and computing (interfacing with the analog world, microprocessor technology, basic control theory, and programming).

  • MEAM 511: Creative Thinking and Design

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    This is a creative & iterative problem solving course that uses a series of mechanical design challenge projects to move students into the broad realm of unpredictable often incalculable time-constrained problem solving. It explores a wide variety of problem definition, exploration and solving "tools," and a variety of surrounding "design thinking" topics, such as ethics and the design of experience. Drawing and prototyping are used in the projects for ideation, iteration, speculation and communication.
