MAE 4641 - [Orthopaedic Tissue Mechanics] Spring. Not offered: 2021-2022. Next offered: 2022-2023. 4 credits. Letter grades only.
Prerequisite: ENGRD 2020 and MAE 3270 . Prerequisite or corequisite: MAE 4300 or permission of instructor. Enrollment limited to: seniors or permission of instructor. Satisfies M.E. senior design requirement. Co-meets with BME 4640 /MAE 4640 /MAE 5640 .
Staff.
Application of mechanics and materials principles to orthopaedic tissues. Physiology of bone, cartilage, ligament, and tendon and the relationship of these properties to their mechanical function. Mechanical behavior of skeletal tissues. Functional adaptation of these tissues to their mechanical environment. Tissue engineering of replacement structures. Senior design report required.
Outcome 1: Students will be able to know and understand the function and physiology of bone, cartilage, tendon and ligament as organs and tissues.
Outcome 2: Students will be able to apply strength of materials concepts to the mechanical behavior of musculoskeletal tissues and organs.
Outcome 3: Students will be able to understand the unique adaptive capacity of musculoskeletal tissues to their mechanical environment.
Outcome 4: Students will be able to integrate and interpret biological data and mechanical engineering concepts.
