BIOMECHANICS FOR ENGINEERS (BME 2013)

 

Biomechanics is an emerging interdisciplinary field with contribution from professionals of various engineering disciplines and other fields like medicine, industry, physiotherapy, sports etc. In biomechanics, the structural and functional behaviour of biological systems are studied using the principles of mechanics and engineering.

Developing methods, procedures and devices to improve impaired movements of patients with musculoskeletal diseases/disorders is an important area of R&D in biomechanics. An understanding of the biomechanics of the system and expertise of engineering, medical and industrial fields are essential to develop safe, affordable and accessible solutions for such problems. However such an interdisciplinary approach, though quite needed, is still at its initial stage in an Indian context.

Learning Outcomes

1) To give insight into articular cartilage and bone biomechanics, structure and composition, and present imaging and mechanical testing techniques to characterize these properties.
2) To present basic principles of biomechanical modeling of tissues, especially articular cartilage and bone, and show state-of-the-art techniques and computational models of articular cartilage and bone.

BioMech 2011 : International Conference on Biomechanics

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Sixth IASTED International Conference on  Biomechanics

~BioMech 2011~

November 7-9, 2011
Pittsburgh, USA

SPONSOR
The International Association of Science and Technology for Development (IASTED)
• Technical Committee on Energy and Power Systems

PURPOSE
Biomechanics encompasses a wide variety of subjects, including motion analysis and orthopaedics, as well as the study of cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, and other systems. The Sixth IASTED International Conference on Biomechanics (BioMech 2011) will provide the opportunity for researchers and specialists to connect with others within their area of study as well as with those in the larger field of biomechanics.

INTRODUCTION TO BIOMECHANICS (BASIC DEFINITIONS) MUST KNOW

Definitions

  • Bio mechanics – application of the principles of mechanics / physics to biological organisms
  • muscle action vs. function
    • action – motions produced by a muscle’s shortening; described in reference to axes and planes of body
      • – determined by architecture of joint and position of muscle around it
      • – pure mechanics which can be inferred
    • function – how the organism chooses to use a muscle
      • – can involve positive, negative or non- work (see below)
  • agonists (Gr., contestant)– muscles with an identical action; usually restricted to single axis or plane of reference
