ADVANCED TISSUE MECHANICS

3 credits.

Central topics in solid mechanics applied to soft tissues, including analysis of strain in the setting of large deformations, computation of stress in multiple experimental loading configurations, constitutive modeling of biomaterials using hyperelastic strain-energy functions, modeling tissue growth and remodeling, and the main theories for soft tissue failure will be covered. Application of finite elasticity theory in practical laboratory situations, and key papers and concepts in soft tissue mechanics.
