Courses
Continuum Mechanics
Continuum mechanics is a branch of mechanics that treats matter as a continuous, infinitely divisible medium rather than discrete particles.
Bone Biomechanics
Bone biomechanics is the study of how bone responds to mechanical forces and loads, considering both the material properties of bone and its structural organization.
Research Methods and Scientific Writing
Learning ResourcesFinite Element Methods in Biomechanics
a computational numerical analysis technique, which is combined with computational modeling.
