Biomedical Engineering

The teaching “Strength of Biomaterials”, given at the 5th year of the Master Degree in Biomedical Engineering, is in direct succession to that of "Mechanics applied to Solids and Structures” of the Bachelor Degree in Clinical Engineering at the 2nd year of the Bachelor Degree in Clinical Engineering, and constitutes a natural progression. In fact, the knowledge gained in “Mechanics applied to Solids and Structures”, as the theory of beams, mechanics of three-dimensional solids, of the prism of SAINT-VENANT, find immediate application in the study of the mechanical behaviour of long bones, of biological tissues and biomaterials, of the major bone joints of the human body and of prostheses that replace these joints. Expected results of learning. We expect that the candidate master engineer acquires the skills to study the the mechanical behaviour of long bones, of biological tissues and biomaterials, of the major bone joints of the human body and of prostheses that replace these joints.
