Module description

Aim

Computational Applied Biomathematics is a course designed to extend your understanding of Newtonian Physics from Year 1 and apply it to biomechanical problems.

Learning Outcomes

  • Concepts of Stress and Strain
  • Concepts of Trusses and Deformable Beams
  • Concepts Kinematics, Kinetics and Dynamics of Rigid Bodies

Assessment details

Examination 70%

Coursework 30%

Semester 1-only Study abroad students will be set an alternative assessment to the January exam

Learning outcomes

  • To identify principles and suggest models for typical bioengineering problems.
  • To demonstrate broad understanding of the meaning of stress and strain and general conservation laws.
  • To undertake investigative strategies in solving analytically spring mass and pendulum problems.
  • To demonstrate broad understanding of the relationship between normal and shear stress.
  • To be able to derive the equations governing the displacement of an elastic beam.
  • To know, understand and be able to apply the equations of linear elasticity.
