MAE 6670 - [Soft Tissue Biomechanics II: Viscoelasticity and Phasic Theory] Spring. Not offered: 2023-2024. Next offered: 2024-2025. 3 credits. Letter grades only.
Prerequisite: ENGRD 2020 . Enrollment limited to: graduate students.
N. Andarawis-Puri.
Application of mechanics and materials principles to orthopaedic soft tissues. Mechanical properties of cartilage, tendon, and ligaments; applied viscoelasticity theory for cartilage, tendon, and ligament; cartilage, tendon, and ligament biology; tendon and ligament wound healing; osteoarthritis.
Outcome 1: Students will be able to know and understand the function and physiology of orthopaedic soft tissues that lead to effective joint function.
Outcome 2: Students will be able to develop a basic understanding of viscoelasticity theory and its application to orthopaedic tissues.
Outcome 3: Students will be able to apply linear viscoelasticity, quasilinear viscoelasticity, and biphasic theory to tendon, ligament, cartilage, and fibrocartilage.
Outcome 4: Students will be able to understand the rationale for using these theories to characterize the mechanical behavior of orthopaedic tissues.
