Learning outcomes
The aim of the subject is to introduce to student basic knowledge from the field of mechanics aimed to biomechanics. In introduction part of the course the fundaments of mechanics will be described. Farther the link to functional mechanics will follow. Experimental biomechanics and biomechanical properties of tissues will close the course.
The student will learn the basic terms from mechanics and biomechanics. He (she) will understand the human body functions, behaviour of tissues and develop and experiment with regards to biological material specifications.
Prerequisites
The knowledge of mathematics and physics on the university bachelor level.
