Portuguese - Suitable for English-speaking students

Objetivos

Describe the mechanical behavior of soft and hard tissues in the human body, as well as the main materials used in prostheses, orthoses and other implants.

Resultados de aprendizagem e competências

Know the main loading modes to which they are subject, namely: axial, torsion, transverse and bending loading. Understand the use of different elastic, hyper-elastic and viscoelastic biomaterials models, and determine their parameters experimentally. Analyze dimensioning, selection of biomaterials and design of prostheses, orthoses and other implants problems.

Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

This course unit uses practice-based teaching. TP classes will be lectured synchronously at distance. Students will be divided into groups, with a theme being distributed to each group. Initially, it is up to students to determine their own learning needs. In
TP classes, progress made by students will be presented orally. In parallel, laboratory classes, will allow students to have contact with laboratory tools, to assess the mechanical behavior of biomaterials and with structural analysis and calculation tools.
The continuous evaluation methodology includes three components. Three classroom assignments, three laboratory work, and a final written test. In the final evaluation a written exam, will evaluate the ability to design prostheses and select biomaterials.
