Dear BIOMCH-L Subscribers,
I will be putting together a new graduate course at George Washington
University entitled "Mechanics and Modeling of Human Tissue" and would like
subscriber feedback involved in its creation.
Comments on a "wish list" of what one would like to see in a course of this
type as well as suggestions on texts, syllabi, current literature for review,
and laboratory experiments would be appreciated.
Suggestions and comments from anyone familiar with a previously developed
course of this nature would also be appreciated.
They proposed course abstract is as follows;
Classical testing and modeling of isometric materials; introduction to
materials testing equipment; classical models of biological materials; modern
and hypothetical testing of biological materials; safe laboratory practice
with biological tissues; storage effects of biological materials; recent
literature on testing and modeling of tissue; FEM modeling of tissue (highly
emphasized).
Course structure will include lectures, round table discussions and laboratory
sessions.
Happy holidays,
-Michael
