Fundamentals of tensorial algebra Kinematics of deformable solid: finite (large) deformations Stress measurements Balance equations: Lagrangian and Eulerian descriptions Constitutive equations for biological solids Applications to engineering problems: biostructures

Assessment System

Continuum assessment systemm based on reports, class participation and skills and knowledge tests.

A minimum grade of 4.5 in the final exam (either ordinary or extraordinary exams) is required to take into account the continuum assessment.

% end-of-term-examination 60
% of continuous assessment (assigments, laboratory, practicals...) 40

Calendar of Continuous assessment

The course syllabus may change due academic events or other reasons.
