BIOE 5640 — Computational Biomechanics
4 semester hoursGraduateLectureusually offered: falltypical days: T/FBostonTraditional
Identifies and reviews the fundamental conservation principles that govern structural mechanics and fluid dynamics in biological systems. Discusses the following numerical analysis techniques: parameter estimation, finite difference, numerical integration, and finite element methods. By combining conservation laws with numerical analyses techniques, develops approaches to describe the physiological function of various biological systems, allowing for a system of equations to be used to describe a biological problem and solve this system numerically to predict its behavior.
