Summary
This module provides the basic and advanced knowledge and skills in mechanical engineering and their application to biomechanics. It covers the latest advancements in the field of mechanical engineering, including modern design techniques, experimentat technologies and advanced manufacturing processes. This module is ideal for BME students from different backgrounds who are looking to upgrade their skills and knowledge and apply it to biomedical applications. The BME143 module will provide all the basics of mechanical engineering taught in the 2 years of the master program. It will be based on concrete examples of how engineering for health can use the resources learned to create the devices of tomorrow. This module will introduce different concepts taught in other parts of the master's program and will allow the research and development of future applications related to the program's project activities. It will also be reinforced by advanced readings of actors of the ecossystem in health engineering with readings of researchers, doctors or companies. Chapter 1 Introduction to Mechanical engineering in biomechanical and biomedical fields Lectures Chapter 2 Rigid body and motion in solids and mechanism (force, torque, speed and spin on the human body) Lectures and practices Chapter 3 Continuum mechanics and Mechanical behavior (Strain and stress on organs and soft tissus) Lecture and practices Chapter 4 Basic to modern design techniques (collaborative CAD design) Lecture and practices Chapter 5 3D reconstruction from medical data and advanced CAD (MRI, CT-Scan, Laser Scan) (Introduction to complexe surfaces in Semester2) Lecture and practices Chapter 6 Advanced manufacturing processes for protypying Biomedical Device Lectures and practices Chapter 7 Mould creation for biomimetic soft materials and biofidelic phantom fabrication (Introduction to experimental biomechanics in Semester2) Practices Chapter 8 Introduction to Finite Element analysis with online simulation platforms and predimensioning Medical Device (Introduction to FEA in Semester2) Lectures and Practices Chapter 9 - Project activity The project proposed at the end of the module is devoted to the development of a hand prosthesis to apply the theoretical and technical concepts discussed in class (mechanical system, computer-aided design (CAD), rapid prototyping ...).
