Subjects corresponding to the profiles of Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or Industrial Engineering

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: -Understand the methodologies, techniques, specific programs, norms, and standards in the field of advanced biomechanics, including kinematic and dynamic analysis methods. -Understand the mechanics of biological materials. -Apply knowledge of musculoskeletal anatomy to biomechanical analysis and the selection of materials for use in biomechanical applications based on their properties. -Analyze biomechanical systems from both kinematic and dynamic perspectives.

-1 Mechanical behavior of biological tissues -2 Numerical modeling of the mechanical behavior of biological tissues -3 Constitutive equations: dynamic behavior, viscoelasticity, hyperelasticity -4 Damage mechanics in biological tissues -5 Biomechanical analysis of forces, levers, moments, and movements in the locomotor system -6 Kinematic analysis using analysis software

Theory classes and classroom exercises will be held, during which the professor will present the main course content and encourage student participation through proposed exercises and discussion. To achieve a deeper understanding of the course, these classes will also be supported by experimental examples. There will also be computer sessions applied to the study of biomechanics, as well as four laboratory practices to apply the techniques presented in the course to practical and realistic cases. A work on the application of biomechanics to realistic cases will be carried out, which will involve the development of case studies using finite elements. This work will be carried out by students during some of the class sessions, with the support of the professor. Through Aula Global, students will be informed of personalized tutoring hours to address any questions they may have about the course content.
