Course Contents
This module deals with the basics of biomechanics. Basis for this is the anatomy of the musculoskeletal system. Among these is integrated the introduction into rigid bodies, multi-body models of human body parts, different modeling variants or the determination of the reaction forces and moments in human joints. In addition, this module deals with material sciences for considering the human body and with materials that are used in particular in medical technology. These include medical-grade materials used to make implants that remain temporarily or permanently in the body, as well as biomaterials used to replace body tissues (skin, bones, cartilage, etc.). In the areas of biomechanics and biomaterials, the basics of osteosynthesis techniques with implants and endoprosthetics are presented as well as basic principles of tissue engineering in the fields of medicine and dentistry.
