Course:
665 Structure-Function Relationships in Biological Tissues (3)
Staff
Prerequisites: BMEN 634 or ENGR/BMEN 631
This course provides a review of the mechanics of finitely deformable structures and thermomechanics with applications to the study of biological tissues. The focus of the course is on the development of mathematical models describing fluid-solid interactions in biological tissues, nutrient transport, damage repair, and discontinuities. In particular, we cover mixture theory, poroelasticity, microstructural models of cortical and cancellous bone, tendon, ligament, and other tissues, transient and steady-state nutrient transport, and continuum damage theories.
