Mechanical & Industrial Engrg 497U - ST-Skeletal Tissue: Biomech II

In this course students will be introduced to the architecture and mechanical properties of soft and hard biological tissue and finite element analysis techniques used to model both hard and soft tissues at the anatomical scale. Students will execute a term project to develop and predict the response of tissue to mechanical loads using a commercial finite element tool such as ANSYS Workbench.

M&I-ENG 497T M&I-ENG 313 may be taken as concurrently as a co-requisite.
