Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will be made familiar with selected anatomical terms substantial in biomechanics, definition of basic elements and couplings in the musculo-skeletal system and their mechanical properties. Review of biomechanical problems solved in the Institute of solid mechanics, mechatronics and biomechanics. Solving some of partial biomechanical problems within the framework of practical lessons.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of basic terms of theory of elasticity (stress, principal stress, strain, general Hooke's law), fundamentals of linear elasticity theory of beams and shells. Fundamentals of theory of limit states (criteria of plasticity and brittle strength).

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Active participation in seminars.
High quality elaboration of individual assignments.
Passing the test of basic knowledge.

Aims

Mastering of basic terms in biomechanics of musculo-skeletal system. Review of mechanical properties of chosen tissues. Knowledge of basic types of biomechanical themes and of problems in this field. Overview of the biomechanical problems solved in our institute and solving particular problems.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance at practical training is obligatory. An apologized absence can be compensed by individual projects controlled by the tutor.
