Learning outcomes and competences:
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).
Course contents:
Basic terminology of musculo-skeletal system. Basic directions and planes. Structure, creation and development of bones, mechanical properties of bones. Joints of bones. The joint, joint development, movements in joints and joint classification. Joint from the mechanical point of view. Basic elements of musculo-skeletal system, its description from the viewpoint of anatomy and mechanics . Development of musculo-skeletal system biomechanics with regard to computational modeling.
Teaching methods and criteria:
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.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance at practical training is obligatory. An apologized absence can be compensed by individual projects controlled by the tutor.
