Biomechanics: experimental and computational applications
by
Sala de Conferências
Departamento de Física
Biomechanics or the 'mechanics of living things' is commonly perceived as the study of the mechanics of biological entities, specially of muscles and their movement. These notions are fairly common - even among the "scientifically educated". However, the word Biomechanics has largely transcended its etimology.
This talk will present an overview of some experimental and computational works developed on the biomechanics LAB at INEGI (mainly experimental) and by the research group (mostly computational).
The broad scope and diversity of the team's work is spread across a multitude of disciplines:
- applied mathematics (optimization, finite element simulations)
- physics (nonlinear elasticity)
- biology (everything bio)
- biomaterials (material science)
- image analysis (for everything ...)
- robotics (with biomimetic, surgical, assistive or other purposes)
