BME 260 - Statics and Dynamics in Biological Systems


Fundamentals of engineering statics and dynamics on biological systems will be covered using vector methods. Covered topics will include free body diagrams, equilibrium of systems, rectilinear kinetics and kinematics, angular kinetics and kinematics, work, energy and momentum of biological systems. In parallel, the necessary anatomy and physiology of the organ systems including the musculoskeletal system, the nervous system and the cardiovascular system will be covered. This material will lead to a discussion on kinesiology.
