The course provides an overview of the biomechanical behavior of:
Cells on the small scale.
Several organs and systems on the large scale.
Topics include:
Measurement methods: Mechanical properties of cells, mechanical behavior models of cells, and mechanical stimulation techniques.
Blood flow models: Arteries and capillaries, considering blood as a Newtonian or non-Newtonian fluid.
Porous media flow: Interstitium to the lymphatic system.
Biomechanics of the eye: Fluid production, flow, discharge, and deformation of the eye wall.
Respiratory system biomechanics: Lung elasticity, air and blood mass transfer, and particle transport.
Skeletal muscle biomechanics: Constitutive modeling and muscle-bone interaction.
Skeletal and bone biomechanics: Extended to connective tissues like ligaments, tendons, and cartilage.
