BN2204\u00a0FUNDAMENTALS OF BIOMECHANICS<\/div>\n
2016\/2017, Semester 2\u00a0 Engineering (Biomedical Engineering)<\/div>\n

Modular Credits: 4 Class Size: 95<\/p>\n

Learning Outcomes<\/h4>\n
The module aims to introduce students to the applications of engineering statics and dynamics to perform simple force analysis of the musculoskeletal system; give an appreciation of kinematics and kinetics of human motions; apply the fundamentals of mechanics, i.e. stress and strain in biological systems, shear force, bending moment and torsion.<\/p>\n

At the end of this course, students should be able to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Draw free body diagrams and identify unknown reaction forces and moments<\/li>\n
  2. Solve statically determinate problems involving rigid bodies, pin-jointed structures<\/li>\n
  3. Understand the concepts of engineering stress, strain and materials behaviour<\/li>\n
  4. Determine the load distributions and corresponding stresses and strains in structures under tension, shear, compression, torsion and bending<\/li>\n
  5. Design structures to prevent failure including buckling<\/li>\n
  6. Describe the anatomical structures of the major joints and spine of a human body and relate to body movement and functions<\/li>\n
  7. Analyze the kinematics & kinetics of human movement<\/li>\n
  8. Explain the time dependent behavior of human movement<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Teaching Modes<\/h4>\n
    Module will consists of Lectures, Tutorials, Labs and Continual Assessment (CA) where:<\/p>\n
    \u2022\u00a0\u00a0 CA will comprise term papers\/quizzes (20%) and lab assignments (30%).<\/div>\n
    \u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As such, total CA will constitute 50% of the total marks. The rest of 50% will come from the final examination.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
