CODE 108682 ACADEMIC YEAR 2025/2026 CREDITS 6 cfu anno 2 BIOENGINEERING 11159 (LM-21) - GENOVA LANGUAGE English TEACHING LOCATION GENOVA MODULES Questo insegnamento è composto da: MOD. 1 CONTINUUM MODELS FOR BIOLOGICAL TISSUE MOD. 2 MECHANICS OF SENSORY SYSTEMS TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB OVERVIEW The course is divided into two modules and aims to provide students with knowledge of the mechanical behaviour of biological tissues. In each module, the instructors will propose a hands-on project for students to work on during class hours. For each project, students will be required to formulate a mathematical model and solve it using analytical and/or numerical techniques. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The course will provide the fundamental concepts of biological tissue mechanics and teach students how to formulate appropriate mathematical models. It will also cover elements of numerical analysis and analytical techniques. PREREQUISITES Basic knowledge of physics and mathematics.
