Build rapid prototypes for the course : Biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system
ME-482 - Biomechanic... - Project
Summary The basis for a mechanical description of the musculoskeletal system are presented. This description is based on the concepts of solid mechanics, physiology and anatomy of the musculoskeletal system. Concrete examples of the development of implants are also covered.
Content Biomechanics at the body level (functional anatomy; joint kinematics; forces in the joints). Biomechanics at the tissue level (large deformations; passive and active constitutive laws; identification; laws of evolution). Biomechanics in clinical applications (orthopaedics biomechanics; traumatology, implant development). Mini-project in group where students can access the makerspaces (SPOT and SKIL) on the EPFL campus.
