Biomechanics and micro hydrodynamics

none

• Understand the complexity of the characteristics and functioning of living environments.
• Predict and analyze mechanical phenomena in the living world to bring new insights from mechanics to health issues.
• Know how to identify the key mechanisms and choose the right models according to the problem considered for living environments.
• Acquire and master certain modeling and characterization tools for living environments.

The objectives of the program will be conceptualized during an introductory talk that will present the pedagogical motivations. Some examples of articulation: biological system, functioning, pathology, modeling, diagnosis, and therapy will allow the medical and mechanical contexts to be linked. The medical context will be addressed by a clinician experienced in clinical research activities. The courses on characterization, modeling of biological tissues and fluids, and fluid-structure interactions will be taught by teacher-researchers specializing in the field. They will be declined after explaining their contribution in relation to the examples of articulation. Within the framework of a project, various scientific articles directly related to the courses will be proposed to the students in order to allow them to apprehend the scientific research. Finally, a practical work that will be a concrete application of the courses will be proposed.

• Understand and simplify a complex biomechanical problem.
• Be able to propose appropriate solutions.
• Understand how to structure their work in a time.
• Be able to report on one's work both orally and in writing.
