MEGR2144 SOLID MECHANICS
Catalog Description:
Introduction to Solid Mechanics. An introduction to the theory of deformable bodies and its applications. Stress and deformation resulting from axial, torsion and bending loads. Shear and moment diagrams. Mohr’s circle for stress and strain and buckling of columns. (Fall, Spring)
Credit Hours: (3)
Prerequisite(s): MEGR2141 and MATH2241
MEGR 4271/5271 ORTHOPEDIC BIOMECHANICS
Introduces mechanical properties of human body’s hard tissues (bone and cartilage) and soft tissues (muscles, ligament and tendon), and joint biomechanics. Focuses on mechanical and biological considerations for treatment of orthopedic diseases and sports injuries, such as bone fractures, ACL injury, and osteoarthritis. Students learn how to solve medical problems using their engineering knowledge and skills.
Credit Hours: (3)
Prerequisite(s): MEGR 2144 with grade of C or above
MEGR 4272/5272 MECHANICS OF THE HUMAN LOCOMOTOR SYSTEM
Introduces dynamic analysis of the human musculoskeletal system. Students learn to develop 3‐D rigid body models of human movement, and how to calculate internal forces in muscles and joints during daily and sports activities. Students also learn how to use motion capture system and simulation software of human locomotion.
Credit Hours: (3)
