MAE 6670
Soft Tissue Biomechanics II: Viscoelasticity and Phasic Theory

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024. Courses of Study 2024-2025 is scheduled to publish mid-June.

Application of mechanics and materials principles to orthopaedic soft tissues. Mechanical properties of cartilage, tendon, and ligaments; applied viscoelasticity theory for cartilage, tendon, and ligament; cartilage, tendon, and ligament biology; tendon and ligament wound healing; osteoarthritis.

When Offered Spring.

Permission Note Enrollment limited to: graduate students.
Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: ENGRD 2020.

Outcomes
  • Students will be able to know and understand the function and physiology of orthopaedic soft tissues that lead to effective joint function.
  • Students will be able to develop a basic understanding of viscoelasticity theory and its application to orthopaedic tissues.
  • Students will be able to apply linear viscoelasticity, quasilinear viscoelasticity, and biphasic theory to tendon, ligament, cartilage, and fibrocartilage.
  • Students will be able to understand the rationale for using these theories to characterize the mechanical behavior of orthopaedic tissues.
