Course objectives
At the end of this course, students should be able: to explain the fundamental mechanics laws and principles, to synthesize these knowledges with biologicals systems knowledges earlier acquired, to apply the bases of this synergetic discipline to human motion system and to sports movement.
Syllabus
  • Definition of biomechanics, importace, history. Physical base of biomechanics: line coordinates, scalares, vectores, units. Kinematics: mass point, distance, velocity, acceleration, straight motion, accelerated motion, cirgular motion, motions in field of gravity of Earth, describing motion with graphs. Dynamics: force, Newton's Laws, effects of force, deformations, Hook's Law, momentum and its conservation, impulse, centripetal force, inertial force, D'Alambert's Principle. Mechanics of rigid body: moment of force, principle of moments, centre of gravity, equilibrium positions, statics, frictional force, air resistance force, inclined plane, lever systems. Mechanical energy, work, power, conservation of energy. Biological base of biomechanics: The geometry of the human body (anatomical planes and directions, body segments, kinematic chain, weight and center of gravity segments, center of gravity, moment of inertia segments) Rheology (rheological models) The mechanical properties of biomaterials (stiffness, elasticity, hardness, relaxation and creep, fatigue) The mechanical properties of bone tissue (bone stress and deformation, elastic and plastic deformation, bone remodeling) The mechanical properties of cartilage, tendons and ligaments (cartilage lubrication, hysteresis elastic fibers, the relationship between stress and strain, tissue viscoelasticity) The mechanical properties of skeletal muscles (mechanical properties, gradation of muscle tension, Hill model, the dependence on the parameters of muscle force of muscular contraction) Biomechanics of control subsystems (generation and spread impulses, load of nerve tissue) Biomechanics motion segments (mechanical triad, decomposition muscle force, muscle moment of force, lever principle of movement in the joints, types of levers in the human body, model examples)
