Course description
This course derives lectures on mechanical methods for analyzing living organisms. The topics are related with advanced kinetics, material mechanics, and fluid mechanics necessary for the dynamic analysis of living organisms, and the mechanical engineering approaches to the fields of biomedical engineering, medical engineering, welfare engineering, and injury biomechanics.
Purpose of class
To understand the basis of biomechanics and its engineering application
Goals and objectives
  1. To understand the dynamic analysis of living organisms based on continuum mechanics, strength of materials, fluid mechanics, and mechanical kinematics.
  2. To understand the characteristics, functions, and disease mechanisms of typical living organisms from a mechanical point of view.
  3. To understand the basics of mechanical analysis methods for the characteristics and functions of living organisms

Evaluation method and criteria
Out of a total of 100 points, 50 points for the mid-turm report and 50 points for the term-end report, 60 points or more are passed.
The interim report aims to achieve 60% by being able to solve and explain the basic problems of mechanics necessary to explain the behavior of the living body and the phenomena in the living body.
In the term-end report, the framework of biomechanics simulation will be explained, and the achievement level will be 60% by being able to carry out rudimentary implementation.
