| Abstract | Introduction to engineering mechanics with applications in biology and medicine: kinematics and statics of rigid bodies and systems. Basic introduction to deformation and failure of materials under load. |
| Learning objective | Students can solve problems of elementary engineering mechanics, and understand how these are relevant to biology and medicine. |
| Content | Basic notions: position and velocitiy of particles, rigid bodies, planar motion, kinematics of rigid body, force, couple, power. Statics: static equivalence, force-couple system, center of forces, centroid, principle of virtual power, equilibrium, constraints, statics, friction. Effects of mechanical load, and material stresses and deformation in tension, compression, bending, and torsion. |
